Hemodialysis reduces MMP-2 levels independently of MMP-2 genetic variants.

After 2 years of PD, most patients had progressive increase in CF-PWV; the magnitude of increase is related to systolic blood pressure, serum calcium level, and baseline NPNA. Further study is needed to determine whether serial measurement of CF-PWV provides additional prognostic information.

Mg(2+) ions reduced ex vivo/in vitro vascular calcification despite increased phosphate concentration. This hypothesis is additionally based on the fact that CKD patients with high Mg(2) serum levels had significantly lower IMT and PWV values, which may result in a lower risk for cardiovascular events and mortality in these patients. Therefore, Mg(2+) supplementation may be an option for treatment and prevention of vascular calcification resulting in a reduction of cardiovascular events in CKD patients.

Loss of aortic CAT1 impairs L-Arg uptake. Increased plasma ADMA was associated with progressive loss of renal DDAH activity. However, loss of renal clearance and falls in hepatic DDAH activity in HD-PAN did not have additive effects on plasma ADMA.

Mortality reaches 80%, due to progressive skin ischemia, necrosis and infections. In addition to calcium and parathyroid disorders, hypercoagulability can have a role: primary thrombotic disorders as well as secondary, such as proposed warfarin procoagulant effects. Traditional care addresses the calcium-phosphate-PTH axis: minimizing calcium intake, calcimimetics, cautious vitamin D analogs, strict phosphate control, and surgical parathyroidectomy if necessary.

We determined the frequency of the APOL1 G1 and G2 risk variants together with the prevalence of HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) among individuals of Ethiopian ancestry to determine whether the kidney disease genetic risk is PanAfrican or restricted to West Africa, and can explain the previously reported low risk of HIVAN among Ethiopians.

In most cases, catheter removal is considered an essential component of managing CLABSI. However, in patients with poor access, catheter salvage may have to be attempted rather than removal and replacement of catheters. Anti-infective lock therapy (ALT) - instilling an antibiotic or antiseptic into the catheter lumen - is a novel way of treating CLABSI while attempting to salvage the catheter. However, data on the efficacy of ALT for catheter salvage is limited. In this systematic review, we critically review the evidence regarding the use of ALT for catheter salvage.

Persons with CKD are much more likely to die of CVD than to experience kidney failure. Clinical trials have demonstrated that statins are gaining widespread acceptance as a principal therapy for the primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerosis and CVD. In CKD patients the role of statins in primary prevention of CVD remains to be clarified. The absolute benefit of treatment with a statin seems to be greater among nondialysis-dependent-CKD patients. Studies in end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis did not confirm these results. Recently, however, the Study of Heart an...

We review some important associations of IGV by subject characteristics and by ethnic groups. IGVs were measured by the Cavalieri method in 30 glomeruli in each of 111 adult males who belonged to 4 ethnic groups, i.e. US Whites, African-Americans, Africans from Senegal, and Australian Aborigines.

The extrauterine environment, however, is suboptimal for organogenesis, and therefore renal development is likely to be adversely affected by preterm birth. In the long-term, there is emerging evidence of high blood pressure and renal dysfunction amongst young adults born preterm. There is little knowledge to date, however, regarding the effects of preterm birth on renal structural development, perhaps due to the lack of an appropriate animal model. We have demonstrated that the baboon (Papio sp.) has a similar time course of nephrogenesis as the human kidney, and the baboon...

In many kidney diseases, however, more accurate methods are needed to distinguish between relevant intrarenal structures. MRI could be a solution, although the use of MRI contrast has caused severe complications in some cases, and invasive kidney biopsies may follow, even though such small specimens traditionally provide inaccurate quantitative data. We evaluated the usefulness of MRI volumetry and quantitative kidney biopsies to assess glomerular number and volume as well as cortical volume.
