BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of diabetes has been rising rapidly in recent years, leading to an increase in patients experiencing hyperglycemic crises like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS). Patients with imp...
BACKGROUND: Current evidence regarding the effects of serum Klotho among patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) is scarce. This study explored the relationship between serum Klotho levels and the odds of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in middle-aged a...
BACKGROUND/AIM: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder that affects many organs, including the kidneys. This single-center retrospective study investigated the clinical, pathological, and laboratory findings of patients with kidney sarcoidosis who wer...
BACKGROUND: Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations are widely used in clinical practice but exhibit inherent limitations. On the other side, measuring GFR is time consuming and not available in routine clinical practic...
Traditional methods for diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD) via laboratory data may not be capable of identifying early kidney disease. Kidney biopsy is unsuitable for regular screening, and imaging tests are costly and time-consuming. Several st...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent condition with significant global health implications. Early detection and management are critical to prevent disease progression and complications. Deep learning (DL) models using retinal image...
BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common complication of lower limb percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Common risk models are based on cardiology cohorts for percutaneous coronary intervention. They include a mi...
OBJECTIVE: Kidney fibrosis is a key pathological feature in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), traditionally diagnosed through invasive kidney biopsy. This study aimed to develop and validate a noninvasive, multi-center predictive model...
PURPOSE: Clinical management of pediatric chronic kidney disease requires estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Currently, eGFR is determined by two endogenous markers measured in blood: serum creatine (SCr) and cystatin C (CysC). Machine ...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common and serious complication of diabetic mellitus (DM). More sensitive methods for early DKD prediction are urgently needed. This study aimed to set up DKD risk prediction models based on machine lear...
