Elevated renal resistive index (RRI) and significant proteinuria were independent predictors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression over 2 years, according to findings published in the Journal of ...

Researchers recently observed a “dominant” role for the renal resistance index (RRI), independent of proteinuria, as a marker of CKD progression. Elevated renal resistive index (RRI) and significant ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, show that renal dysfunction can cause the accumulation of α-synuclein in the kidneys, which can in turn cause the protein to spread to the brain, in ...

Paricalcitol is associated with a reduction in proteinuria in patients with stage 3-4 CKD, including those receiving ACEIs or ARBs.

Eggs are an easy source of protein, but many foods, like chicken, black beans, salmon, and lentils, have more protein per ...

1. Marker of kidney damage Spot urine albumin-creatinine ratio >30 mg/g or spot urine total protein-creatinine ratio >200 mg/g for ?3 months indicates CKD. 2. Clue to the type (diagnosis ...

Treating chronic kidney disease first requires identifying the underlying cause, then trying to slow the progression while also reducing complications that may affect other organs, like the heart.

Low versus low-intermediate risk metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC): Contemporary data from the International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC).

Clinical data, including gender, age at the time of renal biopsy, and systolic/diastolic blood pressure, serum creatine, hematuria and 24-h urine protein excretion, were measured and recorded at the ...

Essentially, the researchers found that the kidneys of patients presenting renal failure contained a large amount of the protein α-synuclein. They were then able to shed light on how this α ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) management has traditionally emphasized dietary protein restriction to slow disease progression and delay end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, evidence from trials ...
