  • The greater the reduction in proteinuria, the better their kidney function remained, and the longer their kidneys remained active before they developed ESKD. (childrensnational.org)
  • Even a modest reduction in proteinuria, as small as 20 or 30%, had an impact on these patients' kidney health," Dr. Moxey-Mims says. (childrensnational.org)
  • Currently, these trials typically must include large numbers of patients to show a benefit if complete remission of proteinuria - which only occurred in about 20% of patients in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases trial - is used as the end point.

Cardiovascular disease5
  • Patients should be assessed for risk factors leading to the further loss of kidney function and cardiovascular disease. (aafp.org)
  • 1 , 2 CKD is also associated with significantly increased risks of cardiovascular disease 3 and stroke. (aafp.org)
  • Adults with cardiovascular disease should be screened for CKD. (aafp.org)
  • Study of novel biomarkers of cardiovascular disease in uraemia. (le.ac.uk)
  • BACKGROUND: "T50," shortened transformation time from primary to secondary calciprotein particles may reflect deranged mineral metabolism predisposing to vascular calcification and cardiovascular disease (CVD). (bepress.com)
Multidisciplinary2
  • The aim of this study is to explore the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of genomic testing within a national cohort of patients with suspected genetic kidney disease who attend multidisciplinary renal genetics clinics. (bmj.com)
  • Patients will be included if they are referred to one of the multidisciplinary renal genetics clinics and are deemed likely to have a genetic basis to their kidney disease by the multidisciplinary renal genetics team. (bmj.com)
Diabetes and Digestive2
  • NIDDK plans for re-competitions at the end of each project period pending consideration and concurrence by the National Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Advisory Council. (nih.gov)
  • The Kidney Disease Section is located in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease and conducts basic and clinical research into the pathophysiology and treatment glomerular diseases. (nih.gov)
Diabetic Kidney Disease2
  • Indigenous people were younger at consent and more often had diabetes and diabetic kidney disease and had higher incidence rates of KRT. (bvsalud.org)
  • An accompanying editorial notes that the study adds to a plethora of work demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in both diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease. (eurekalert.org)
Treatment of kidney diseases2
Nursing12
Transplants2
  • Most persons who have received kidney transplants are considered to have CKD. (aafp.org)
  • We've done more than 10,000 kidney transplants and have one of the largest programs in the country. (uwhealth.org)
Inhibitors2
  • Your provider will prescribe blood pressure medicines known as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers to protect your kidneys from more damage if your microalbumin test is too high on at least two measurements. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Nevertheless, the potential to alter the expression of a more focused, disease-related subset of genes and to limit adverse effects has prompted the development of isoform-specific HDAC inhibitors. (nature.com)
