Significance Statement Poor sleep is known to be related kidney function impairment. Using the UK Biobank cohort, including individuals self-reporting regular patterns of short, intermediate, or long duration, authors found that short duration was associated with higher prevalence CKD. In genetic analysis, risk score for but not significantly a CKD stages 3–5, suggesting causal effects on Two-sample Mendelian randomization using independent meta-analysis results from CKDGen Consortium...

Although smoking at younger age linked to higher mortality risk, the specific effects early on all-cause cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs)-specific in CKD patients are not well established. This study aims examine association between smoking, intensity, CKD. Methods nationwide, population-based cohort utilized data from...

ABSTRACT Aim Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are at increased risk of premature mortality, morbidities and complications, which severely impair quality life. However, patient‐centered outcomes not consistently reported in trials ADPKD, can limit shared decision‐making. We aimed to identify important patients caregivers the reasons for their priorities. Methods Nominal group technique was adopted involving ADPKD who were purposively selected from eight...

Abstract Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), impacting long-term outcomes such as mortality and morbidity. Analyzing NHANES data from 1999 through 2016 for adults aged ≥ 20 years, we assessed the mediating effects anemia biomarkers (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell distribution width [RDW], mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration [MCHC]) on CKD-related by using hazard ratios biomarker-adjusted model. Of 44,099 participants, 7463 experienced all-cause death. Cox...
