Article Abstract

Background: Mechanisms by which AKI leads to CKD progression remain unclear. Several urine biomarkers have been identified as independent predictors of progressive CKD. It is unknown whether AKI may result in long-term changes in these urine biomarkers, which may mediate the effect of AKI on CKD progression.

Methods: We selected 198 episodes of hospitalized AKI (defined as peak/nadir inpatient serum creatinine values ≥ 1.5) among adult participants in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study. We matched the best non-AKI hospitalization (unique patients) for each AKI hospitalization using pre-hospitalization characteristics including eGFR and urine protein/creatinine ratio. Biomarkers were measured in banked urine samples collected at annual CRIC study visits.

Results: Urine biomarker measurements occurred a median of 7 months before and 5 months after hospitalization. There were no significant differences in the change in urine biomarker-to-creatinine ratio between the AKI and non-AKI groups: KIM-1/Cr + 9% vs + 7%, MCP-1/Cr + 4% vs + 1%, YKL-40/Cr + 7% vs -20%, EGF/Cr -11% vs -8%, UMOD/Cr -2% vs -7% and albumin/Cr + 17% vs + 13% (all p > 0.05).

Conclusion: In this cohort of adults with CKD, AKI did not associate with long-term changes in urine biomarkers.

This systematic review explores the impact of diuretic timing and strategy on outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). A total of seven studies were included, comprising randomized controlled trials (RCTs), pre-specified sub-analyses, and observational data. Early administration of intravenous loop diuretics, particularly within the first 60 to 90 minutes of hospital arrival, was generally associated with improved short-term outcomes, including reduced in-hospital and 30-day mortality.

Background And Objectives: Water is essential for proper physiological function. As temperatures increase, populations may struggle to meet water needs despite adaptations or acclimation; chronic dehydration can cause kidney damage. We evaluate how daily water requirements are associated with ambient temperature (ambT), wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), urine specific gravity (USG; marker of hydration status), and albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR; kidney function biomarker) among Daasanach pastoralists living in a hot, dry northern Kenyan climate.

Objectives: To investigate the mechanism of (QJZ) for ameliorating renal damage in MRL/lpr mice.

Methods: With 6 female C57BL/6 mice as the normal control group, 30 female MRL/lpr mice were randomized into model group, QJZ treatment groups at low, moderate and high doses, and prednisone treatment group (6). After 8 weeks of treatment, the mice were examined for 24-h urine protein, creatinine and albumin levels, serum levels of IgG, complement 3 (C3), C4, anti-dsDNA, interferon γ (IFN‑γ) and interleukin 17 (IL-17).

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is the most prevalent urological condition in men under 50, characterized by persistent or recurrent pelvic and perineal pain, and significantly reduced quality of life. Reliable biomarkers for assessment and mechanistic understanding of pain remain limited. This retrospective case-control study consisting of 90 CP/CPPS patients (median age 29.

Kidney stones have a high recurrence rate-10% within 5 years and 50% within 10. Crystalluria reflects the urinary physicochemical environment and may serve as a recurrence marker, but key crystals like brushite are rarely detected under ambient conditions. This study aimed to identify novel recurrence markers by inducing crystallization through urine cooling and analyzing crystal composition.
