BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors. Here, we report an unusual case of synchronous PPGL in an asymptomatic patient with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). CASE REPORT: A 49-year-old woman with a history of TSC and end-stage renal disease was referred for evaluation of bilateral adrenal and retroperitoneal masses. She denied chest pain, palpitations, headaches, or previous hypertensive crisis. The laboratory test results showed a plasma normetanephrine level of 20...

High blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and disease progression in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Evidence on the effects of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is limited. This review aimed to determine the effect of HBPM on systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in patients with CKD. We searched medical literature databases for eligible studies presenting pre- and post-data for interventions utilizing HBPM. Study quality was assessed using the NHLBI tools for quality assessment...

Apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH), defined as blood pressure (BP) that remains uncontrolled despite unconfirmed concurrent treatment with three antihypertensives, is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular and renal complications compared with controlled hypertension. We aimed to identify the characteristics of aTRH patients with an elevated risk of major adverse cardiovascular events plus (MACE+; defined as stroke, myocardial infarction, or heart failure hospitalization) and end stage renal disease (ESRD)...

PURPOSE: We observed transient elevations in creatinine levels among kidney recipients after three traditional holidays in Taiwan. This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the changes in eGFR levels after Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, all of which are associated with high-calorie and high-fat diets. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 364 kidney recipients with stable graft function who were following at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Linkou from 2018 to 2020...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the patient survival rates based on the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) in a large cohort of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD). METHODS: Data from a national HD quality assessment program were used in this retrospective study. The patients were classified into four groups based on the use of renin-angiotensin system blockers (RASBs) as follows: No group, patients without a prescription of any anti-hypertensive drugs including RASBs; Other group, patients with a prescription of anti-hypertensive drugs excluding RASBs; ACEI group, patients with a prescription of an ACEI; and ARB group, patients with a prescription of an ARB...

BACKGROUND: Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) was confirmed as a novel inflammatory marker and strongly associated with the risk of several diseases. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between MHR and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a Chinese adult population. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 232,775 community-dwelling adults in Binhai who completed health checkups in 2021 were enrolled. Participants were categorized based on the MHR quartiles...

OBJECTIVE: While diet plays a key role in CKD management, the potential for diet to impact CKD prevention in the general population is less clear. Using a priori knowledge, we derived disease-related dietary patterns (DPs) through reduced rank regression (RRR) and investigated associations with kidney function, separately focusing on generally healthy individuals and those with self-reported kidney diseases, hypertension or diabetes mellitus. METHODS: 8,686 participants from the population-based Cooperative Health Research in South Tyrol (CHRIS) study were split into a group free of kidney disease, hypertension and diabetes (n=6,133) and a group with any of the three conditions (n=2,553)...

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of chronic pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are analgesics commonly used for musculoskeletal pain; however, NSAIDs can increase the risk of certain adverse events, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, edema, heart failure, and hypertension. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize existing comorbidities among patients with OA. For patients with OA with and without a coexisting medical condition of interest (CMCOI), we estimated the prevalence of prescribing and dispensing NSAIDs pre-OA and post-OA diagnosis...

INTRODUCTION: It remains unclear how the presence of renal involvement will affect the cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and complications in patients with SLE. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE and Scopus to identify studies published between 1947 and 2022 that evaluate the CV risk factors and complications in patients with SLE with or without lupus nephritis (LN). RESULTS: 58 studies were evaluated, with 22 two-arm studies (n=8675) included in two-arm meta-analysis and 45 studies (n=385 315) included in proportional meta-analysis...

OBJECTIVE: There is an increased risk of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) loss among patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). The reduced SMM considerably influences the development of protein-energy wasting (PEW). Patients who develop PEW have higher hospitalization and mortality rates than those without PEW. This study determined if key variables could predict SMM Index (SMM adjusted for height) in patients receiving MHD. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data obtained from the Rutgers Nutrition and Kidney Database (n=178)...

The most recent advancements in cancer therapy center on efficiently and conveniently enhancing a patient's natural immune system. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are antibodies that target cytotoxic thymus (T) lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and its receptor. They function by stimulating T-cell activity against malignancies. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are a distinct class of inflammatory side effects that are specific to a given organ. Antineoplastic medications can impact any part of the kidney, leading to the development of proteinuria, hypertension, electrolyte abnormalities, glomerulonephritis, and both acute and chronic interstitial nephritis...

Medical comorbidities are frequent in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) and their impact on outcomes is under investigation. The aim of this study was to investigate patients with DoC in the acute stage and the influence of comorbidities. Patients admitted to intensive care units and neurological units with a diagnosis of coma, vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS), and minimally conscious state (MCS) were investigated through the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), the Coma Recovery Scale - Revised (CRS-R) and the Comorbidities Coma Scale (CoCos)...

OBJECTIVE: Loss of muscle mass and sarcopenia are common in CKD and ESRD, and sarcopenia can worsen insidiously in patients with advancing CKD. The temporal dynamics of sarcopenia in patients with progressive loss of kidney function, and its association with future outcomes, is unclear. METHODS: In a contemporary national cohort of incident ESRD US veterans, we selected 661 patients who had at least two 24-hour urine creatinine (24hrUC) measurements, a surrogate of muscle mass, performed during the 3-year prelude period prior to ESRD transition...

OBJECTIVE: Hypertension is one of the cardiovascular diseases that causes the most mortality, and 95% of the causes are unknown. The aim of the study was to examine the possible correlation of nesfatin-1 levels, adropin levels, claudin-2 immunoreactivity (claudin-2 expression in the renal proximal tubule), and renalase immunoreactivity (renalase expression in the renal proximal tubule) with arterial blood pressure, kidney function, and kidney damage.
