PERMANENT AND ACUTE KIDNEY DISEASES

A risk score to estimate the possibility of acute kidney damage brought on by cisplatin treatment (June 2024)

Cisplatin is a powerful anticancer drug that is used to treat a variety of cancers; nevertheless, nephrotoxicity, especially acute kidney damage (AKI), is a side effect that has a dose limit. To predict the risk of cisplatin-associated AKI (defined as a twofold or greater increase in serum creatinine or kidney replacement therapy within 14 days of a first dose of intravenous cisplatin), a risk score based on nine easily accessible clinical parameters has been developed and validated. It was discovered that a greater risk score was correlated with a higher incidence of CI-AKI when applied to two distinct cohorts totaling over 24,000 persons. This risk score can be useful.

 

Guidelines for Chronic Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2024 (June 2024)

The guidelines for the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are updated on a regular basis in the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. The 2024 guidelines include recommendations for the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, as well as risk estimates based on CKD staging and the application of new equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using creatinine and cystatin C.

Plant-based diets with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease clinical outcomes (April 2024)

The relationship between dietary habits and outcomes in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not received much attention in research. Those with the highest adherence to healthy plant-based diets and overall plant-based diets had a 21 percent lower risk of death than those with the lowest adherence. These findings were found in a prospective cohort study involving over 2500 individuals with non-dialysis CKD followed for a median of 12 years. On the other hand, a poor plant-based diet—one that is marked by excessive consumption of fruit juices, refined grains, sweets, and desserts—was linked to slightly higher chances of death and the advancement of chronic kidney disease. According to these findings, the majority of CKD patients who do not receive dialysis should eat a diet high in fruits,
