We reported here a case of anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) in an elderly patient with background history chronic kidney disease (CKD-stage 4, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <24 ml/min). He presented acute injury on (AKI/CKD) eGFR 9 ml/min and serum creatinine 6.0 mg/dl.

F or nearly 40 years, kidney disease has been defined primarily in terms of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), i.e., kidney failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. Recently, however, the disease has been redefined as chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive condition that culminates in ESRD and that often can be effectively treated in its earlier stages; prevention is now a realis...

The KDIGO 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline Update for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of CKD-MBD represents a selective update of the prior CKD-MBD Guideline published in 2009. This update, along with the 2009 publication, is intended to assist the practitioner caring for adults and children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), those on chronic dialysis therapy, or individual...

background: chronic kidney disease is asymptomatic until its last stages and though it is increasing globally, we are faced with paucity of a population-based model to assess this disease, particularly in developing countries. therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and trends of ckd according to a new estimation method.   methods: using multiplier method, we estimated t...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its association with cardiovascular mortality is increasingly regarded as a global public health problem. International efforts to combat this 'epidemic' have led to fundamental changes not only in the way we measure renal function but also how we classify and manage CKD. Clinical guidelines have established the use of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)...

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for developing critical illness and for admission to intensive care units (ICU). 'Critically ill CKD patients' frequently develop an acute worsening of renal function (i.e. acute-on-chronic, AoC) that contributes to long-term kidney dysfunction, potentially leading to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). An integrated multidisciplinary eff...

Background: Hypertension is one the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the major concerns in hypertensive patients is early detection of renal disorders. In the past, serum creatinine (Scr) concentration was used as a marker of kidney function, but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate. Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocal...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem and closely linked with cardiovascular disease. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) considered common comorbidity in CKD patients. In all, 100 patients were included our study. Transthoracic echo Doppler study was performed to measure pulmonary artery systolic pressure based on tricuspid jet. The prevalence of PH 60%; severity had significant assoc...

OBJECTIVE The Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease (DAPA-CKD) study demonstrated risk reduction for kidney cardiovascular with dapagliflozin versus placebo participants chronic disease (CKD) without diabetes. We compared according to baseline glycemic status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS enrolled CKD, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25–75 mL/min/...

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. Echocardiography is an integral part of the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Chronic kidney disease has a predictable and unique effect on the myocardium and the epicardial circulation that may be detected by echocardiography. In particular dobutamine stress echocardiography has proved to be an inva...
