This study investigates the metabolic effects of low-protein diets (LPD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) through murine models and a randomized controlled trial involving nondiabetic CKD patients. The results indicate that LPD improves glucose tolerance and reduces circulating levels of gut-deriv...

Psychological resilience mediates the impact of anxiety and insomnia on health-related quality of life in maintenance dialysis patients.

This study investigates the impact of anxiety, insomnia, and psychological resilience on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in maintenance dialysis patients. Involving 207 participants, it finds that higher anxiety and insomnia scores correlate with lower HRQoL scores, with specific decreases...

Gut microbiota biomarkers of chronic kidney disease progression identified by 16S rDNA sequencing and machine learning.

This study investigates microbial biomarkers linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression using 16S rDNA sequencing and machine learning techniques. A cohort of patients with varying stages of CKD and healthy controls provided fecal samples for analysis. Significant differences in microbial...

Compartment syndrome is associated with acute kidney injury following revascularisation in patients with lower extremity arterial occlusive disease: a retrospective cohort study.

This study investigates the occurrence of compartment syndrome (CS) in patients undergoing revascularisation for lower extremity arterial occlusive disease (LEAOD). Among 153 patients, CS was observed in 29 (19.0%), with those affected exhibiting more severe ischemia and metabolic disturbances. A...

Oral Nanoaggregate Probe for Noninvasive Urinalysis of Acute Kidney Injury.

The study introduces a noninvasive diagnostic method using oral-to-urinalysis, highlighting the potential of a nanoaggregate probe (MB-ES) for early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI). The probe shows favorable oral applicability and is activated by esterase to release methylene blue, indicat...
