Study Shows Steroid Therapies Following Transplant Can Be Eliminated
A new study by researchers at UC shows that using modern immunosuppressive drugs eliminates the need for steroid therapy as early as seven days following a transplant surgery while still maintaining kidney function view more (2008-10-22)
New class of molecules may help prevent fatal complication in patients with kidney disease
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have made an important discovery about why potassium builds up to dangerous levels in the bloodstream, a relatively common medical problem that affects about eight percent of hospitalized patients. view more (2009-11-04)
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)
Researchers from the University of Navarra analyze new kinds of cancer-fighting antibodies
Two researchers from the University Hospital and the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) from the University of Navarra have published an article in Nature Cancer Reviews, one of the leading scientific journals in the area of cancer studies. view more (2007-03-07)
Something fishy in human blood could save lives
Thousands of people with liver and kidney disease die every year from too much ammonia in their blood, and scientists from the United States and Japan have found a possible solution. view more (2007-03-30)
Standard test for blood sugar control not accurate in diabetic dialysis patients
The standard test for measuring blood sugar control in people with diabetes is not accurate in those on kidney hemodialysis, according to new research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2008-02-21)
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)
UNC scientists identify growth factor as possible cancer drug target
To grow and spread, tumors need new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. view more (2009-06-10)
Link between depression, early stages of chronic kidney disease found by researchers
One in five patients with chronic kidney disease is depressed, even before beginning long-term dialysis therapy or developing end-stage renal disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2009-09-09)
Shock wave therapy for kidney stones linked to increased risk of diabetes, hypertension
Mayo Clinic researchers are sounding an alert about side effects of shock wave lithotripsy: in a research study, they found this common treatment for kidney stones to significantly increase the risk for diabetes and hypertension later in life. view more (2006-04-10)
Molecular marker identifies normal stem cells as intestinal tumor source
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have answered a central question in cancer biology: whether normal stem cells can give rise to tumors. view more (2008-12-18)
Novel DNA vaccine leads to kidney damage prevention in systemic lupus erythematosus models
DNA vaccination using lupus autoantigens and interleukin-10 (IL-10, a cytokine that plays an important role in regulating the immune system) has potential as a novel therapy to induce antigen specific tolerance and may help to prevent kidney damage in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). view more (2009-06-12)
Fatty liver linked to increased risk of diabetic kidney disease
For patients with type 2 diabetes, a condition called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may be an important risk factor for diabetes-related chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a study in the August Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2008-05-30)
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)
High Blood Pressure Easy to Miss in Children with Kidney Disease
Spot blood pressure readings in children with chronic kidney disease often fail to detect hypertension - even during doctor's office visits - increasing a child's risk for serious heart problems, according to research from Johns Hopkins Children's Center and other institutions. A report of the findings appears online in the Journal of American... view more... (2009-11-23)
Test predicts who will develop end-stage renal disease
Measuring kidney function by assessing two different factors-glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and urinary albumin levels-helps determine which patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD). view more (2009-04-09)
PET imaging identifies aggressive kidney cancers that require surgery
The ability to identify an individual's specific tumor type prior to surgery could have important implications for the management of patients diagnosed with kidney cancer. view more (2007-03-07)
First biomarker discovered that predicts prostate cancer outcome
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified the first immune molecule that appears to play a role in prostate cancer development and in predicting cancer recurrence and progression after surgery. view more (2007-08-15)
Mayo Clinic study finds heart transplant patients benefit from new approach to immunosuppression
A new immunosuppression regimen for heart transplant patients can improve kidney function and prevent transplant coronary artery disease, according to two new Mayo Clinic studies. view more (2007-04-26)
