In this issue of Kidney International, a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis provides an up-to-date picture of the long-term risks of death, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) ...

INTRODUCTION: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is characterised by several complications, leading to reduced functional ability and quality of life during transition to dialysis. This study aimed to establish the feasibility ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Novel markers may help to improve risk prediction in CKD. One potential candidate is tissue advanced glycation end product accumulation, a marker of cumulative metabolic stress, which can be ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common, harmful and of global concern. There is a need to understand the pathway of the management of AKI in order to identify potential areas where care can be improved, for ...

The high incidence and poor short-term outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) have focused attention on this global healthcare issue. Concurrently, the long-term effects of AKI are increasingly appreciated, namely, increased ...

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalised patients and is associated with adverse long-term consequences. There is an urgent need to understand these sequelae in general hospitalised patients utilising ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Chronic kidney disease is common, but the associated risk of adverse outcomes is heterogeneous and methods for risk stratification are, therefore, required. We have reviewed recent progress in developing ...

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases with age, but its significance in older patients is uncertain and is regarded by some as part of 'normal aging'. Moreover, subjects ≥75 years are often ...
