BACKGROUND: Predicting the progression of CKD is important for treatment decisions and for informing patient provider communication. We have previously developed a highly accurate static prediction model for the progression of CKD that used one time values. In this analysis, we describe a dynamic prediction model for CKD progression that includes changes in laboratory variables between visits a...

conclusions we found acceptable short-term survival in both groups; however, living donor recipients continue to have better long-term patient and graft survival rates. results although there were no significant differences in one-year survival rates of patient and graft between study groups, three-years survival rates of patient and graft were significantly longer in living donor kidney transp...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life threatening complication of pregnancy.The incidence of AKI has sharply declined from 0.5 per 1000 pregnancies to one in 20,000 births in developed countries. (Beaufilis,2005) On the other hand, pregnancy is still responsible for 15–20% of AKI in developing countries. (Naqvi, 1996)Pregnancy related AKI (PRAKI) is on the decline from 14.5% reported in 1987 to 4...

Introduction: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic kidney disorders with the incidence of 1 in 1,000 births. ADPKD is genetically heterogeneous with two genes identified: PKD1 (16p13.3, 46 exons) and PKD2 (4q21, 15 exons). Eighty five percent of the patients with ADPKD have at least one mutation in the PKD1 gene. Genetic studies have demonstrate...
