BACKGROUND: The risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD mortality are prevalent among cancer survivors (CS) population. The 2022 ESC Guidelines on cardio-oncology have recommended that modifying cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) could potentially improve long-term outcomes in CS. OBJECTIVES: To identify the independent and joint chronic kidney disease (CKD) associations of hyperuricemia with the incidence of CVD and mortality outcomes among CS. METHODS: Utilizing data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning 2005-2018, we assessed the risk of CVD through weighted multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression...

The incidence of malignant tumors has steadily increased year by year in China in recent decades ascribed to the population aging and early cancer screening. The emergence of innovative anti-cancer drugs has bolstered the prognosis of cancer patients, making it a chronic disease. Kidney injuries are frequent complications of cancer treatment clinically manifested as acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), proteinuria, and electrolyte disorders, etc. Although kidney injuries affect up to 50% of the patients, there is a lack of professional management guidance for anti-cancer drug dosage adjustment...

BACKGROUND: Up to 15% of patients with locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) harbors tumor thrombus (TT). In those cases, radical nephrectomy (RN) and thrombectomy represents the standard of care. We assessed the impact of TT on long-term functional and oncological outcomes in a large contemporary cohort. METHODS: Within a prospective maintained database, 1207 patients undergoing RN for non-metastatic RCC between 2000 and 2021 at a single tertiary centre were identified...

BACKGROUND: Urine kidney injury biomarkers measured during cisplatin therapy may identify patients at risk for adverse subsequent kidney outcomes. We examined relationships between tubular injury biomarkers collected early (early visit [EV]: first or second cisplatin cycle) and late (late visit [LV]: last or second-last cisplatin cycle) during cisplatin therapy, with 3-month post-cisplatin chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension. METHODS: We analyzed data from the Applying Biomarkers to Minimize Long-Term Effects of Childhood/Adolescent Cancer Treatment Nephrotoxicity Study: twelve-center prospective cohort study of 159 children receiving cisplatin...

PURPOSE: The relationship between vitamin intake and cancer risk in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population is unknown. For this reason, we investigated the relationship between dietary vitamin intake and cancer risk in CKD patients and looked for effective vitamin dietary patterns. METHODS: This study included 3518 CKD patients from 2007 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. All participants were categorized into four groups based on vitamin intake by K-mean clustering...

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of adverse events, early mortality, and multimorbidity. A detailed overview of adverse event types and rates from a large CKD cohort under regular nephrological care is missing. We generated an interactive tool to enable exploration of adverse events and their combinations in the prospective, observational German CKD (GCKD) study. METHODS: The GCKD study enrolled 5217 participants under regular nephrological care with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30-60 or >60 mL/min/1...

BACKGROUND: Kidney volume is used as a predictive and therapeutic marker for several clinical conditions. However, there is a lack of large-scale studies examining the relationship between kidney volume and various clinicodemographic factors, including kidney function, body composition and physical performance. METHODS: In this observational study, MRI-derived kidney volume measurements from 38 526 UK Biobank participants were analysed. Major kidney volume-related measures included body surface area (BSA)-adjusted total kidney volume (TKV) and the difference in bilateral kidneys...

BACKGROUND: Multivisceral en bloc resection with the ipsilateral kidney is commonly performed in patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLPS). We evaluated the effect of nephrectomy on short- and long-term outcomes in patients with RLPS. METHODS: Data from a prospectively maintained database of the Peking University Cancer Hospital Sarcoma Center between April 2011 and August 2022 were analyzed. We classified the RLPS patients who underwent surgery into nephrectomy group (NP) and non-nephrectomy group (non-NP)...

Endometrial cancer continues to be the only gynecologic malignancy with a rising incidence and mortality, with both regional and global implications. Combination carboplatin and paclitaxel has been the recognized chemotherapy backbone for the treatment of advanced-stage or recurrent disease, with modest clinical outcomes. Over the last year, significant advances were achieved in improving oncologic outcomes by capitalizing on the molecular characterization of this heterogenous disease. These advances include incorporation of immunotherapy, identification of effective hormonal approaches, the evolution of antibody drug conjugates, and utilization of alternate targeted therapies...

(1) Background: PSMA ligand PET/CT is increasingly important for diagnostics of prostate cancer and other tumor diseases. In particular, the radiopharmaceutical [68 Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 is widely used. Besides its tumor-specific binding, the uptake within the kidneys is dominant and seems to visualize the renal cortex specifically. Kidney diseases may alter the uptake of radiopharmaceuticals. Therefore, the correlation between renal uptake in PET/CT imaging and renal function should be investigated. (2) Methods: A group of 103 male patients were retrospectively evaluated for eGFR according to the CKD-EPI equation, tracer uptake intensity (SUVmax , SUVpeak , SUVmean ), the molecular volume of the renal cortex, morphological kidney size, and total renal uptake...

BACKGROUND: Information of short-term prognosis after hemodialysis (HD) introduction is important for elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their families choosing a modality of renal replacement therapy. Therefore, we developed a risk score to predict early mortality in incident elderly Japanese hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed data of incident elderly HD patients from a nationwide cohort study of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Renal Data Registry (JRDR) to develop a prognostic risk score...

OBJECTIVES: To compare the occurrence of death, bleeding, and recurrence according to inpatient or outpatient management of venous thromboembolic disease (VTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: . Retrospective cohort that included a consecutive sampling of VTE consultations between 2016 and 2019 diagnosed in the Emergency Center of a private hospital in Argentina. RESULTS: There were 1202 cases, 908 with isolated deep vein thrombosis (DVT), 205 with isolated pulmonary embolism (PE), and 89 cases of combined DVT - PE...

Urological diseases affect all age groups and are associated with different urinary complications. Presence of pathogenic bacteria complicates the urological diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney stone disease (KSD), emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN), and urological cancers (UCs) coinciding with urinary metabolic complications. The One Health concept for preventing the spread of antibiotic resistant opportunistic pathogens necessitates detailed investigation on the virulence and the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the pathogens from the urinary tract infections (UTIs)...

BACKGROUND: Approximately 37 million individuals in the United States (US) have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with CKD have a substantial morbidity and mortality, which contributes to a huge economic burden to the healthcare system. A limited number of clinical pathways or defined workflows exist for CKD care delivery in the US, primarily due to a lower prioritization of CKD care within health systems compared with other areas (e.g., cardiovascular disease [CVD], cancer screening)...

Resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy represents a formidable clinical challenge limiting the efficacy of immunotherapy. In particular, prostate cancer (PCa) poses a challenge for ICB therapy due to its immunosuppressive features. A ketogenic diet (KD) has been reported to enhance response to ICB therapy in some other cancer models. However, adverse effects associated with continuous KD were also observed, demanding better mechanistic understanding and optimized regimens for using KD as an immunotherapy sensitizer...

AIM: Both hyperuricemia and anemia are not only the manifestation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but also related to its occurrence and development. A recent study has found that there was a synergetic effect between hyperuricemia and anemia on new-onset CKD. Herein we aimed to explore the roles of hyperuricemia and anemia in the all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. METHODS: Data of adult patients with CKD were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database in 2009-2018 in this retrospective cohort study...

Although patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) aggravation, the connection between these two diseases is not well understood. Recent studies have shown that both CKD and CRC aggravation are closely related to an increased abundance of indole-producing Fusobacterium nucleatum in the gut. The indole absorbed from the gut is eventually metabolized to indoxyl sulfate in the liver. Since indoxyl sulfate is involved not only in accelerating CKD progression but also in the initiation and development of its associated complications, the present study aimed to clarify whether indoxyl sulfate induces the proliferation of CRC cells...

OBJECTIVE: Cisplatin-associated acute kidney injury is a common clinical event that causes increased morbidity and mortality in cancer patients even if they are categorized as having normal functioning kidneys. We aimed to determine predictive factors that can predict acute kidney injury associated with cisplatin therapy in patients with normal renal function by comparison of pre-chemotherapy estimated glomerular filtration rates calculated separately by Cockcroft and Gault (CG), the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPİ) equations and accompanying patient-associated factors...

PURPOSE: To compare long-term toxicity incidences, including secondary cancer (SC) with or without total body irradiation (TBI), in Asian patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using a nationwide database. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified 4,554 patients receiving HSCT for leukemic disease from 2009 to 2016 using the healthcare bigdata system of Korea. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for SC, cataracts, hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease (CKD), myocardial infarction, or strokes were compared, and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) of SC was also estimated...
