Nephropathy News and Research

RSS

Nephropathy is a broad medical term used to denote disease or damage of the kidney, which can eventually result in kidney failure. The primary and most obvious functions of the kidney are to excrete any waste products and to regulate the water and acid-base balance of the body – therefore loss of kidney function is a potentially fatal condition.

Insulin resistance increases retinopathy and nephropathy risk in young type 1 diabetics

A study published in the journal Cardiovascular Diabetology describes the relationship between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and retinopathy or kidney disease in young adults with type 1 diabetes.

Researchers shine new light on a potential target for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy

The kidneys perform a critical role in the body by removing waste and excess fluid in the form of urine. In a condition known as diabetic nephropathy, complications from diabetes disrupt the ability of the kidneys to function properly.

Early intervention key to managing diabetes, cardiorenal, and metabolic diseases

A panel of US-based experts in cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology, and primary care has prepared specific recommendations for early identification and intervention in obesity, diabetes, and other cardiorenal and metabolic diseases. A detailed report on recommended strategies has been published in the Journal of Diabetes and its Complications.

Japanese study reveals increase in incidence rates of renal replacement therapy attributed to nephrosclerosis

A new Japanese study reveals that the age-standardized incidence rates of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) due to chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy has decreased, while rates due to nephrosclerosis have increased considerably between 2006 and 2020.

Study finds low absolute risk of glomerular disease relapse associated with COVID-19 vaccination

Several reports have described a relapse of certain autoimmune kidney diseases in patients after they've received COVID-19 vaccines, but it's unclear if this association is real or a coincidence.

Study reveals recommended levels of long-term blood sugar to avoid diabetes-related damage

The levels of long-term blood sugar, HbA1c, can be used to accurately determine the risk of a person with type 1 diabetes developing eye- and kidney complications.

Studies to explore whether achieving beneficial ketone levels can improve metabolic health of military service members

A series of upcoming studies will explore whether the grind of active-duty military life and veterans' disproportionately high incidence of chronic illness could be tamed by lifestyle interventions designed to achieve a metabolic state of nutritional ketosis.

Adults with primary glomerular disease have high cardiovascular risk, study shows

Among almost 2,000 adults with primary glomerular disease followed for a median of 6.8 years, risk of cardiovascular events including coronary artery, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular events, and death due to myocardial infarction or stroke was 2.5-fold higher compared to the general population.

Study shows glomerulonephritis after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination likely coincidental

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers assessed whether messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines increase the incidence of glomerulonephritis against the null hypothesis stating any observed temporal association between the two phenomena was purely coincidental.

Multi-country study provides a clear treatment option for IgA nephropathy

The largest ever randomized controlled trial in IgA nephropathy has found that treatment with methylprednisolone - a cheap, widely used corticosteroid drug - halves the risk of losing kidney function and kidney failure, and that this can be effectively achieved with fewer side effects if a reduced dose is used.
