A research team at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and the University of Heidelberg has proven that a gene protects some people with diabetes from developing severe kidney failure or "end-stage renal disease." view more (2007-01-10)
New mutation that causes atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome identified
Researchers from the University of Newcastle, UK, have identified a novel genetic change that causes one form of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) a rare, chronic disease that causes kidney failure and which can run in families. view more (2006-10-31)
Targeted drug therapy found effective in patients with common form of immune-mediated kidney disease
The drug rituximab causes considerable kidney injury healing in patients with membranous nephropathy, a common form of kidney disease, according to a study appearing in the November 2008 issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology (CJASN). The results suggest that this condition, previously destined to progress to kidney... view more... (2008-08-06)
Treatment of kidney condition requires an individualised

Metabolic syndrome identified as risk factor for kidney-pancreas transplant patients
A three-year multi-center study of kidney-pancreas transplant recipients has identified a new risk factor for impaired kidney function, which may help physicians refine their treatment strategies. view more (2006-01-23)
'Treatment disconnect' in kidney cancer: Rising mortality despite more small tumors, more surgery
The rising incidence of kidney cancer may be due to an increase in the number of small, treatable kidney tumors. view more (2006-09-20)
Uric acid may provide early clues to diabetic kidney disease
For patients with type 1 diabetes, increased levels of uric acid in the blood may be an early sign of diabetic kidney disease-appearing before any significant change in urine albumin level, the standard screening test, reports a study in the May 2008 issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-03-19)
Research suggests doctors should consider kidney-sparing surgery
A study of almost 1,500 kidney cancer patients treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center suggests that surgery to spare as much kidney tissue as possible may improve overall survival in patients who also have reduced kidney function at the time their cancer is diagnosed. view more (2008-10-01)
Creatinine Increase in Elderly Means Increased Renal Disease, Mortality
Even small increases in serum creatinine levels during hospitalization raise the risk of end stage renal disease and mortality of elderly patients over the long term, according to a University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) study in the March issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine. view more (2008-04-16)

Clinicians currently lack advance warning of acute kidney injury (AKI) for patients where kidney injury timing is unknown. view more (2007-08-02)
Malfunctioning kidneys may raise risk of sudden death in women
Women whose kidneys are poor at filtering impurities from the blood are at heightened risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a report published in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-04-08)
Coffee and tea can reduce the risk of chronic liver disease
A study published today in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) journal Gastroenterology found that people at high risk for liver injury may be able to reduce their risk for developing chronic liver disease significantly by drinking more than two cups of coffee or tea daily. view more (2005-12-02)
US kidney failure rates stabilize, ending a 20-year climb
After 20 years of annual increases from 5 to 10 percent, rates for new cases of kidney failure have stabilized, according to new research from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health view more (2005-10-11)

New test for kidney disease could reduce dialysis need
A new non-invasive test for kidney disease, developed by clinicians at Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and Imperial College London, is providing a simple, safe, cheap and reliable method of detecting kidney disease. The new test, reported today in the journal Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, can detect disease before symptoms become apparent,... view more... (2004-09-13)
Proteins from garden pea may help fight high blood pressure, kidney disease
Researchers in Canada are reporting that proteins found in a common garden pea show promise as a natural food additive or new dietary supplement for fighting high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Those potentially life-threatening conditions affect millions of people worldwide. view more (2009-03-23)

For old or young dialysis patients, AV fistulas remain pure gold
A new study shows that for those individuals with chronic kidney disease, it doesn't matter if you're young or old: arteriovenous (AV) fistulas remain the gold standard for maintaining access to one's circulatory system to provide life-sustaining dialysis. view more (2009-03-09)
