Background Few risk scores are available for predicting mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing predialysis nephrology care. Here, we developed a score using practice data to predict 1-year following the initiation of haemodialysis (HD) CKD patients. Methods This was multicenter cohort study involving who started HD between April 2006 and March 2011 at 21 institutions with care services. Patients had not received an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)...
Gouty arthritis is a metabolic disorder associated with hyperuricemia. Despite the development of novel pharmacotherapies, some hyperuricemia patients are drug refractory and develop gout. A 74-year-old man frequent gouty attacks chronic renal failure presented asymmetrical polyarthritis affecting multiple joints. The diagnosis gout was confirmed based on presence monosodium urate crystals in patient's right wrist. administration systemic corticosteroids relieved joint inflammation pain;...
The RET tyrosine kinase receptor and its ligand, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) are critical regulators of renal neural development. It has been demonstrated that activates a variety downstream signaling cascades, including the RAS/mitogen-activated protein phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(PI3-K)/AKT pathways. However, nuclear targets specific to RET-triggered still remain elusive. We have previously identified novel zinc finger protein, GZF1, whose expression is induced...
Introduction Albeit uncommon, hydrothorax is an important complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Due to paucity evidence for optimal treatment, this study aimed evaluate the effectiveness and safety computed tomographic (CT) peritoneography surgical intervention involving video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in a retrospective cohort patients who underwent PD Japan. Methods Of 982 from six centers Japan between 2007 2019, 25 (2.5%) with diagnosed were enrolled study. withdrawal rates...
A 66-year-old man with a history of bronchial asthma and sinusitis was admitted cholecystitis peripheral neuropathy. The histopathological findings the gallbladder revealed necrotic vasculitis granulomatous inflammation marked eosinophilic infiltration. Kidney biopsy also showed infiltration in tubulointerstitial area tubulitis. He diagnosed granulomatosis polyangiitis (EGPA) treated corticosteroids. However, he no response. Therefore, administered mepolizumab 300 mg, which resulted clinical...
Abstract Background and Aims Erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) are essential for better quality of life longer expectancy in end-stage kidney disease patients (ESKD). Resistance to ESA leads worse prognosis hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis patients. exists pre-dialysis period. We studied the clinical significance resistance by investigating erythropoietin index (ERI) with ESKD prior induction its association mortality cause death three-year follow-up after initiation. Method Subjects...
