Article Abstract

Introduction: Blood glucose monitoring was vitally important in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients for preventing complications and improving survival rates. The associations between glycemic variability and blood biochemical indicators were underestimated in patients with DKD undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, we primarily aimed to investigate the glycemic variability and 1-year risk of cardiovascular disease events in diabetic hemodialysis patients. And we secondarily aimed to explore the association between glycemic variability and blood biochemical indicators.

Methods: In total, 27 patients were included in the final analysis. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was used to evaluate glucose variability for 14 days. Patients were divided into two groups by the cutoff level of time in range (TIR; >70% or ≤70%). The three-point major adverse cardiovascular event (3P MACE) was recorded within 1 year.

Results: After 1 year of follow-up, 4 patients in the high-TIR group and 3 patients in the low-TIR group had 3p MACE. Higher low blood glucose index (LBGI) level in diabetic hemodialysis patients increased the risk of 3p MACE outcomes (HR = 2.37, p = 0.018). And the level of albumin was positively associated with LBGI (β = 0.51, p = 0.036). The plasma levels of albumin, glycosylated hemoglobin, and hemoglobin were positively associated with other CGM parameters.

Conclusion: LBGI during 14 days was positively associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in diabetic hemodialysis patients.

Management of diabetes mellitus in hemodialysis is highly complex due to increased glycemic variability and hypoglycemic risk. The use of technologies applied to diabetes has been shown to improve glycemic control, however data in dialysis patients are limited. To describe the efficacy and safety of the minimed 780G AHCL system in a stable hemodialysis patient and during hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Acute kidney injury is one of the most severe complications of severe malaria, with an overall incidence reaching 60% and a mortality rate of up to 45%. We conducted this study to determine the prevalence of acute kidney injury in malaria, acute kidney injury, associated factors and the impact of acute kidney injury on vital prognosis. This was a multicenter, retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study over a 5-year period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, in the nephrology and infectious diseases departments and intensive care units of Dakar hospitals.

Background: Delayed graft function is a common situation that leads to increased long-term rates of graft rejection and loss. It is seen increasingly more often, as the use of kidneys from donors after controlled cardiac death has become more widespread. This study aimed to identify factors contributing to its onset and determine how these factors may influence graft survival.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of serum advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on stenosis after first autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Methods: Patients with ESRD undergoing standard native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for the first time in the Department of Nephrology, Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University from February to June 2022 were prospectively enrolled. The preoperative general data, clinical examination results and ultrasound data of the operated limbs were collected.

Background: In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, semaglutide (glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] agonist), and finerenone (non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist) improve renal and cardiovascular outcomes. We assessed real-world prescribing of these drugs in patients with T2D and CKD.

Method: The ReDiCare project retrospectively identified patients with T2D and CKD admitted to an Australian hospital between January 2020 and September 2024 using International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision Australian Modification codes.
