Determination of Serum Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid Levels with Different Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
The aim of this study is to investigate the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) levels in patients with different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sixty-one CKD stage 1-4 patients who applied to the nephrology...

The Role of Chronic Renal Disease on the Linking Obesity/Hypertension.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Obesity is accompanied by several disorders. This study investigated the role of chronic renal disease on the linking obesity/hypertension (HTN). It also considered the importance of visceral obesity on renal disease with or without HTN. One hundred ...

End-stage renal disease at dialysis initiation: Epidemiology and mortality risks during the first year of hemodialysis.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated by hemodialysis (HD) is a worldwide major public health problem. Its incidence is getting higher and higher, leading to an alarming social and economic impact. The survival of these patients is significantly low, ...

Chronic kidney disease in Hepatitis C and its association with liver cirrhosis and viral load: Revealing the importance of hematuria.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) contributed as a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many studies only showed it associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction and albuminuria, but none revealed hematuria data. Besides, liver...

Effect of Ramadan Fasting on Chronic Inflammation and Body Composition in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
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...

Mantis-ml: Disease-Agnostic Gene Prioritization from High-Throughput Genomic Screens by Stochastic Semi-supervised Learning.

American journal of human genetics
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 approaches to improve kidney care.

Nature reviews. Nephrology
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...

Prediction of Clinical Events in Hemodialysis Patients Using an Artificial Neural Network.

Studies in health technology and informatics
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...

Development and Validation of a Deep-Learning Model to Screen for Hyperkalemia From the Electrocardiogram.

JAMA cardiology
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...
