Latest AI and machine learning research in nephrology for healthcare professionals.
The Pediatric Acute Liver Failure (PALF) study is a multicenter, observational cohort study of infants and children diagnosed with this complex clinical syndrome. Outcomes in PALF reflect interactions among the child's clinical condition, response to supportive care, disease severity, potential for recovery, and, if needed, availability of a suitable organ for liver transplantation (LTx). Previous...
BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing need and search for a simple yet accurate nephrometry scoring system for predicting the postoperative outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN). Simplified PADUA Renal (SPARE) Nephrometry Scoring System, a simplified version of Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical Classification (PADUA) has been proposed as a predictor of postoperative complicati...
Survival analyses for malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC), have primarily been conducted using the Cox proportional hazards (CPH) model...
OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively report renal parenchymal volume (RPV), renal sinus volume (RSV), and renal parenchymal density (RPD) for chronically obst...
Assessment of renal function and structure accurately remains essential in the diagnosis and prognosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Advanced imagi...
To evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in cystic renal tumors. We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent RAP...
For patients with clinically localized renal masses, positive surgical margins (PSMs) after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) have been associated wi...
BACKGROUND: Neurocognitive impairment is commonly reported in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The precise nature of this impairment is unc...
IMPORTANCE: A chronic shortage of donor kidneys is compounded by a high discard rate, and this rate is directly associated with biopsy specimen evalua...
To compare perioperative, functional, and oncologic outcomes between robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (...
BACKGROUND: The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a biomarker not only for kidney function, but also for major clinical outcomes. We aime...
OBJECTIVES: Renal papillary necrosis (RPN) occurring in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has not been reported. We present a 50-year-old woman who m...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether robot-assisted partial nephrectomy compared with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is effective for renal hilar tumor...
BACKGROUND: Dyslipidemia is an essential parameter in the prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to explore whether lipid profiles could...
BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery (BS) has been postulated as the most effective measure for weight reduction. Weight loss improves metabolic parameters a...
INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and is associated with negative long-term outcomes. Given the heterogeneity of the syndrome, the abi...
INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the role of diallyl disulfide (DADS) against glycerol-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Moreover, the role of pero...
To report trifecta outcomes of our "off-clamp" partial nephrectomy (PN) patients operated without main renal artery and/or any selective/superselecti...
: To evaluate the oncological outcome at 5-year follow-up after laparoscopic cryoablation (LCA) for small renal masses (SRMs), as there is an increasi...
BACKGROUND: A powerful risk model allows clinicians, at the bedside, to ensure the early identification of and decision-making for patients showing si...
