Chronic kidney disease affected nearly one-third of Central European outpatients, with findings highlighting key risk factors and gaps in renoprotective treatment.

Physical frailty and mild cognitive impairment declined over 2 years after kidney transplantation, while better earlier cognitive function predicted lower subsequent frailty.

New NHANES data showed an association between tooth loss and reduced kidney function in females, with oxidative stress and systemic inflammation showing potential indirect roles.

Ultrasound radiomics combined with eGFR showed potential for differentiating diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

A randomised controlled trial found that probiotic supplementation significantly improved eGFR in patients with moderate to severe CKD, with benefits reported across disease stages and diabetes status.

Diabetes was associated with differences in renal function and electrolyte measures, including urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium.

An interpretable machine learning model predicted moderate to severe acute kidney injury in patients with acute pancreatitis using clinical data available within 24 hours of ICU admission.

A prospective cohort study found sarcopenia was independently associated with higher intradialytic hypotension risk among patients receiving haemodialysis.
