Nephrology

Renal trauma was managed conservatively or with embolisation in 98% of 573 patients, including those with high-grade injuries.

A nationwide biopsy analysis identified persistent sex differences in glomerular diseases, including variation in clinical presentation, age distribution and renal function.

Greater MRI defined cerebral small vessel disease burden was associated with poorer kidney function and albuminuria in older adults, with hypertension potentially accounting for part of the relationship.

Platelet transfusion was associated with increased AKI risk among patients with sepsis and severe thrombocytopenia, although confounding prevented causal conclusions.

A meta-analysis of 26 studies identified advanced age, diabetes, lower kidney function and radical nephrectomy as key risk factors for chronic kidney disease following unilateral nephrectomy.

Early Hospital-at-Home transfer after kidney transplant reduced hospital stay and healthcare costs while maintaining comparable one-year clinical outcomes, graft survival and readmission rates in a propensity score matched study.

A multicentre Danish cohort study identified factors associated with recurrent IgA nephropathy after kidney transplantation and highlighted its impact on graft outcomes.

Early kidney injury markers identified subclinical tubular injury in patients with seronegative spondyloarthropathies, supporting their potential role in earlier renal assessment before clinically recognised kidney disease develops.
