Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a state of chronic inflammation which is responsible for many of the pathophysiological changes detected in these patients. Many studies have evaluated the effect of Ramadan fasting on renal function an...
Access to large-scale genomics datasets has increased the utility of hypothesis-free genome-wide analyses. However, gene signals are often insufficiently powered to reach experiment-wide significance, triggering a process of laborious triaging of gen...
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to improve diagnosis and prognostication for acute and chronic kidney diseases. Studies published in 2019 relied on a variety of available data sources towards this objective, including electronic he...

Advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires routine renal replacement therapy (RRT) that involves hemodialysis (HD) which may cause increased risk of muscle spasms, cardiovascular events, and death. We used Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method t...
IMPORTANCE: For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), hyperkalemia is common, associated with fatal arrhythmias, and often asymptomatic, while guideline-directed monitoring of serum potassium is underused. A deep-learning model that enables non...
To determine whether -344T/C CYP11B2 promoter polymorphism affects serum aldosterone levels and whether this polymorphism is an indicator of eGFR decline in patients with chronic kidney disease. -344 C/T CYP11B2 gene polymorphism analysis was perform...
AIM: To examine the frequency and risk factors for the development of diastolic dysfunction (DD) of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Chronic kidney disease affects 47 million people in the United States and is associated with significant health care costs, morbidity, and mortality. Because this disease can silently progress to advanced stages, early detection is critical for initi...
We aimed to investigate the dose-response associations between chronic kidney disease (CKD), and short and long-term cardiovascular outcomes, to characterize these associations by drawing dose-response curves based on a Chinese rural ST-segment eleva...
The effect of chronic metabolic acidosis (MA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to study this relationship in nondialysis CKD patients.This cross-sectional, single-c...
