From frog skin to human colon: rapid responses to steroid hormones
New research on steroid hormone action in the human colon and kidney could pave the way for novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of hypertension and diarrhoea. Prof Brian Harvey at University College Cork has been studying how the hormones oestrogen and aldosterone produce rapid changes in the transport of salt and water through human... view more...

Global view shows strong link between kidney cancer, sunlight exposure
Using newly available data on worldwide cancer incidence to map cancer rates in relation to proximity to the equator, researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have shown a clear association between deficiency in exposure to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B (UVB), and kidney cancer. view more (2006-09-19)
Daily potassium citrate wards off kidney stones in seizure patients on high-fat diet
Children on the high-fat ketogenic diet to control epileptic seizures can prevent the excruciatingly painful kidney stones that the diet can sometimes cause if they take a daily supplement of potassium citrate the day they start the diet. view more (2009-07-22)
Scientists find genetic pathway that could lead to drugs for kidney disease
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have reported a discovery at the cellular level that suggests possibilities for drug therapy for kidney disease. view more (2006-02-01)
Antibodies can halve risk of transplant rejection
Giving interleukin-2 receptor antibodies to patients after a kidney transplant can halve the risk of rejection, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in Birmingham reviewed eight trials of interleukin-2 receptor antibodies versus placebo in 1,858 patients receiving standard immunosuppressant drugs after kidney transplants. Treatment... view more... (2003-04-10)
Kidney transplant survival can be long-term for people with HIV
A Johns Hopkins study finds that HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients could have the same one-year survival rates for themselves and their donor organs as those without HIV, provided certain risk factors for transplant failure are recognized and tightly managed. view more (2009-01-20)
Hidden heart condition increases the risk of death in patients waiting for kidney transplants
An often asymptomatic condition-systolic dysfunction, or decreased pumping of the heart-poses an increased risk of death for patients on kidney transplant waiting lists, according to a study appearing in the June 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN). view more (2008-05-16)

U of M study examines kidney stone prevention in astronauts
As the space shuttle Discovery prepares to launch on July 1, researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified a way for astronauts to reduce their risk of developing kidney stones while in space. view more (2006-06-28)
Radiofrequency ablation highly effective in treating kidney tumors
A relatively new, minimally invasive treatment was 93 percent successful in eradicating malignant kidney tumors, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC. view more (2007-08-06)
Proteins in urine predict brain damage in laboratory animals
The study dealt with the development and prevention of strokes in particular rats which had spontaneously developed extremely high blood pressure. Such a high blood pressure level leads within a few weeks to damage to the kidneys, heart and brain such that the rats die. The researchers found that brain damage in these rats is always preceded by... view more... (1999-06-21)
Enzyme therapy slows kidney function decline
For men with Fabry disease, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with agalsidase alfa slows deterioration of kidney function, reports a study in the online edition of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2009-04-09)
Glowing dye improves cancer removal in kidney
A new way to provide clear images of cancerous tumors in the kidney during surgery promises to help physicians preserve as much kidney function as possible while still removing all the malignant tissue - a significant advance as doctors discover that saving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible is crucial for the future health of cancer... view more...

Kidney transplants less successful at night
Kidney transplants should be carried out during the day if possible. At least this is the conclusion suggested by a survey just published by urologists and internists at the University of Bonn. view more (2008-07-16)
Chronic kidney disease rises while most people with the condition remain unaware
A growing number of Americans have chronic kidney disease, but most remain unaware of it, hampering efforts to prevent irreversible kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant. view more (2007-11-12)
Triptolide: A potential drug for polycystic kidney disease
A treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a leading cause of fatal kidney failure worldwide, has been identified by a research team led by Yale biochemist Craig Crews, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-03-06)
Newly found gene variants account for kidney diseases among African-Americans
For the first time, researchers have identified variations in a single gene that are strongly associated with kidney diseases disproportionately affecting African-Americans. This work was conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and by NIH-funded investigators at the Johns Hopkins University. view more (2008-09-15)
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 of kidney condition requires an individualised
Good patient information is essential for choosing the best treatment for the kidney disease lupus nephritis. Dutch researcher Cecile Grootscholten concludes this following her doctoral research into two methods for treating lupus nephritis. view more (2007-05-15)
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 (2006-10-31)
