Cancer cells 'reprogram' energy needs to grow and spread, study suggests
Studying a rare inherited syndrome, researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that cancer cells can reprogram themselves to turn down their own energy-making machinery and use less oxygen, and that these changes might help cancer cells survive and spread. view more (2007-05-08)
Will stem cell-based treatments make a difference to the developing world?
A new study in the open access journal PLoS Medicine suggests that developing countries could benefit enormously from the new field of regenerative medicine, in which treatments are being developed from stem cells. view more (2006-09-12)
Gene hunters target child kidney failure
Researchers are zeroing in on the genetic abnormalities predisposing to vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), one of the most common causes of urinary tract infections and kidney failure in children, reports a study in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2009-05-15)
Urologic diseases cost Americans $11B a year
Bladder, prostate and other urinary tract diseases cost Americans nearly $11 billion a year, according to a new report from the National Institutes of Health. Medicare's share exceeded $5.4 billion. view more (2007-05-01)
Kidney donor age linked to aortic siffening
Transplantation of kidneys from older donors is followed by increased stiffening of the recipient's aorta-which may help to explain the higher rates of cardiovascular disease and death in patients receiving kidneys from "expanded criteria" donors, reports a study in the April Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-02-22)
Antibody reduces incidence of acute rejection in high-risk kidney transplant patients
Nearly 70 percent of kidney transplant patients get short-term drug therapy initially administered during surgery to help prevent rejection. view more (2006-11-09)
Mayo study examines link between rheumatoid arthritis and chronic lung diseases
For decades, researchers have suspected a connection between chronic lung diseases and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Previous research has yielded widely varying estimates about the strength of this connection, partly because studies have used different diagnosis criteria for these diseases. view more (2006-11-17)
Kidney function discovery sheds light on genetic complexity of disease
To find a cure for cancer, haemophilia and other diseases, researchers need to be looking for complex, interacting genetic factors, according to the authors of a new study. view more (2008-11-26)
Researchers seek children for a study of antibiotics for a urinary tract disorder
Researchers conducting a study to learn if children with a urinary tract disorder known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) should be treated with an antibiotic for an extended period of time are seeking to enroll more participants. view more (2008-06-23)
Landmark Dialysis Study Findings Could Greatly Simplify Treatment of Kidney Disease with Peritoneal Dialysis
Montreal, Canada, June 29, 2001 - Data presented from the largest randomized controlled clinical trial ever completed in dialysis patients suggest that peritoneal dialysis (PD), a flexible home-based dialysis treatment for people with chronic kidney failure, might have far broader applicability than current practice patterns suggest. This study,... view more... (2001-06-29)
Obese patients wait longer for kidney transplants, research suggests
New research from Johns Hopkins specialists suggests that obese kidney disease patients face not only the usual long odds of a tissue match and organ rejection, but also are significantly less likely than normal-weight people to receive a kidney transplant at all. view more (2007-12-20)
End-stage renal disease incidence, prognosis improving for patients with diabetes
Patients with type 1 diabetes have an improved prognosis with regard to end-stage renal disease over the past four decades, and it appears the incidence of end-stage renal disease is lower than previously estimated. view more (2005-10-12)
Cold homes linked to poor health among the over 50s
Older people living in inadequately heated homes are three times as likely to suffer from chronic ill health, reports a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2001-11-09)
Mayo Clinic study explores link between nanoparticles and kidney stones
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have successfully isolated nanoparticles from human kidney stones in cell cultures and have isolated proteins, RNA and DNA that appear to be associated with nanoparticles. view more (2006-12-20)
Cause of gender differences in blood pressure, kidney damage under study
While men and women both get high blood pressure and related kidney disease, the path to get there is shorter, steeper and just different for men, researchers say. view more (2007-05-03)
UT Southwestern researchers probe kidney damage, protection in lupus
Kidney damage associated with the autoimmune disease lupus is linked to a malfunction of immune cells that causes them to congregate in and attack the organs, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered in a mouse study. view more (2009-04-21)
Statins benefit for kidney-transplant patients
Embargo: 0001 H (London time) Tuesday 3 June 2003. Authors of a study published on THE LANCET'S website today (www.thelancet.com) highlight how statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) could offer protection against cardiovascular disease for people who have undergone kidney transplantation. Kidney-transplant patients are at an increased risk of... view more... (2003-05-30)
Women with migraines more likely to have depression
Women with chronic headache, especially migraines, are more likely to be depressed, feel tired, and have a host of other severe physical symptoms. view more (2007-01-09)
Gene discovery may shed light on kidney disease
In a finding that may have broader implications for understanding kidney disorders, genetics researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have identified a second gene that gives rise to Alagille syndrome, a genetic developmental disease that affects multiple organs. view more (2006-08-01)
Cardiac arrest casualties form a valuable source of donor kidneys
A pilot study of a system for harvesting kidneys from non-heart-beating donors where attempts of resuscitation after a witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have failed (uncontrolled NHBDs) resulted in 21 successful kidney transplants - a 10% increase in the transplantation rate - over 17 months. view more (2009-08-28)
