Roux-en-Y weight loss surgery raises kidney stone risk
The most popular type of gastric bypass surgery appears to nearly double the chance that a patient will develop kidney stones, despite earlier assumptions that it would not, Johns Hopkins doctors report in a new study. view more (2009-06-18)
Hyperferritinemia is another surrogate marker of advanced liver disease
High serum ferritin, being a hallmark of hereditary hemochromatosis , is frequently found in chronic hepatitis C, alcoholic or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients. view more (2009-05-13)
Polycystic kidney disease: MRI provides an early alert to progression
A new method using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately tracks structural changes that predict functional changes earlier than standard blood and urine tests in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD). view more (2006-05-18)
Development of DNA drugs gives hope to lupus patients
A generation of DNA-like compounds, class R inhibitory oligonucleotides (INH-ODNs), have been shown to effectively inhibit cells responsible for the chronic autoimmune condition lupus. view more (2009-05-28)
Image-guided biopsy can help patients avoid unnecessary kidney removal
Percutaneous image-guided biopsy of renal masses is safe and accurate, and it frequently alters clinical decision making, says a new study from the University of Michigan. view more (2006-05-01)
Search for blood pressure secrets reveals a surprising new syndrome
Yale researchers investigating the genetic causes of blood pressure variation have identified a previously undescribed syndrome associated with seizures, a lack of coordination, developmental delay and hearing loss. view more (2009-03-17)
Periodontitis is associated with pregnancy complications
Results of a new study support the hypothesis that chronic periodontal infection increases the risk of developing preeclampsia in pregnant women. view more (2006-02-06)
Study examines global prevalence of kidney failure among critically ill patients
A multinational study has found that 5 to 6 percent of patients in intensive care units experience acute kidney failure, and about 60 percent of these patients die in the hospital, according to an article in the August 17 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-08-17)
Renal colic shows a circadian pattern
Renal colic (spasms of pain in the back usually caused by kidney stones) occurs in a circadian pattern, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-03-27)
Scientists discover that widely available drug also helps fight kidney disease
A widely available drug may be effective in treating kidney disease, report scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. view more (2006-03-21)
Orange juice is better than lemonade at keeping kidney stones away
A daily glass of orange juice can help prevent the recurrence of kidney stones better than other citrus fruit juices such as lemonade, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered. view more (2006-09-01)
Drug prescribed for migraines and seizures increases risk of kidney stones
Topiramate (Topamax), a drug commonly prescribed to treat seizures and migraine headaches, can increase the propensity of calcium phosphate kidney stones, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2006-11-01)
Key gene controlling kidney development found
A gene called Six2 plays a critical role in the development of the kidney by keeping a population of "parent" stem cells constantly available to produce the differentiated cells that give rise to specialized parts of the organ. view more (2006-10-11)
State's first single incision robotic kidney removal
For the first time in Michigan, a diseased kidney has been surgically removed at Henry Ford Hospital using highly sophisticated 3D robotics through a single incision. view more (2008-08-26)
Sugar coupled to protein causes kidneys to save water
Several new mechanisms that are important for the production and transport of water channels to the cell surface of kidneys have been identified by a Dutch researcher. The water channels ensure that water in the body is reused. If these fail to work properly, you urinate too much and dehydrate. The research was a collaborative project between the... view more...

Anti-rejection drug may increase risk of diabetes after kidney transplant
For patients undergoing kidney transplantation, treatment with the anti-rejection drug sirolimus may lead to an increased risk of diabetes, reports a study in the July Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2008-05-23)
Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development of uric-acid kidney stones
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that patients suffering from the metabolic syndrome - a cluster of conditions that increases the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes - also have a propensity to develop highly acidic urine, which increases the risk of developing kidney stones. view more (2007-09-13)
More aid required for chronic conditions in low income countries
In an article published in the January 18, 2007, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Gerard Anderson, PhD, professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, highlights the need for more international assistance to address chronic non-communicable conditions affecting... view more...
