New Canadian research helps doctors care for kidney patients
Research funded by The Kidney Foundation of Canada and led by kidney specialists at Lawson Health Research Institute and The University of Western Ontario will make it possible for doctors to quickly and effectively access information relevant for patient care. view more (2009-10-12)
New protocol streamlines therapy that makes more kidney transplants possible
A new therapy developed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center improves transplant rates and outcomes for patients awaiting living- and deceased-donor kidney transplantation, according to a study published in the July 17 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2008-07-17)
Higher-risk kidneys may help solve organ shortage facing older adults
New research from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center suggests that age alone shouldn't be a barrier to receiving a kidney transplant - and that using donated kidneys that would once have been discarded may help alleviate the burgeoning organ shortage among older adults. view more (2007-11-14)

Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: Acute Heart Failure Guidelines view more (2003-09-03)
Diabetes, not obesity, increases risk of developing critical illness and early death
Diabetes puts people at risk of developing critical illness and dying early, but obesity without diabetes does not. A study published today in the open access journal Critical Care reveals that individuals suffering from diabetes are three times more at risk of developing critical illness and dying young than individuals who do not have diabetes. view more (2006-09-25)
Measurement of kidney function in children with kidney disease improved
A formula used to measure kidney function in children with chronic kidney disease has been revised to make it more precise. view more (2009-01-21)
Impaired kidney function linked to cognitive decline in elderly
A new study published in the medical journal Neurology suggests that impaired kidney function is a risk factor for cognitive decline in old age. view more (2009-09-29)
Jefferson researchers find potential biomarket for heart failure
A team of cardiology researchers at Thomas Jefferson University has determined that GRK2, a protein that plays an important regulatory role in heart failure, is elevated in patients with failing hearts when compared to patients with normal heart function. view more (2006-09-12)
More kidney cancer is detected and treated early, yet death rate rises
The number of cases of kidney cancer has been rising over the last two decades, and new research from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center shows that this increase is driven largely by the detection of small, presumably curable, kidney masses. view more (2006-09-20)
Jefferson researchers find lack of protein in obese people is risk factor for kidney, heart disease
Jefferson researchers have found that mice with low levels of the protein hormone adiponectin may also have high levels of a protein called albumin which, in humans, may be a sign of kidney disease. view more (2005-11-16)
Carnegie Mellon scientists devise method to increase kidney transplants
Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new computerized method for matching living kidney donors with kidney disease patients that can increase the number of kidney transplants - and save lives. view more (2007-06-12)
Gene variant linked to chronic kidney disease
Two common gene variations are associated with the risk for developing chronic kidney disease, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and other institutions. One variant increases risk and the other decreases risk with a similar effect in whites, African-Americans, diabetic and non-diabetic... view more... (2005-06-15)
Successful treatment for acute heart failure remains elusive
In recent years, cardiologists have begun to view acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) as a distinct condition, not merely a part of the chronic heart failure continuum. view more (2005-12-21)
Receptor protein appears to be key in breakdown of kidney filtration
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have identified a new molecular pathway that appears to be involved in urinary protein loss (proteinuria). view more (2007-12-20)
The Definitive Beta-blocker For Heart Failure? (pp 2, 7, 14)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the beta-blocker carvedilol offers substantial survival benefit compared with another widely-used beta blocker for the treatment of chronic heart failure. Beta blockers reduce death in patients who are also taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors for chronic heart failure. In... view more... (2003-07-02)
Survival of patients with lung failure depends on health of other organs
Doctors treating lung failure need to focus on the whole patient to improve the chance of patient survival. Research published on 9th July in Critical Care shows that the survival rate of patients admitted to hospital with lung failure alone is good, but diminishes if other vital organs fail. Hans Flaatten and colleagues carried out the 30-month... view more... (2003-07-07)
Northwestern Memorial's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute Trials Implantable Device to Manage Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms
Northwestern Memorial's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is one of seven programs in the country participating in new study aimed at improving the heart's pumping action and helping to manage congestive heart failure symptoms. view more (2008-10-09)
Researchers figure out how hearts fail
Researchers have determined how metabolic pathways differ between healthy and failing hearts. Normally, a heart derives its energy from a balance of fatty acids and carbohydrates, specifically glucose. view more (2005-07-25)
Study questions impact of hemoglobin variations on mortality in dialysis patients
For patients with dialysis-related anemia, the risk of death is increased when hemoglobin levels remain persistently low over a period several months-not necessarily when they fluctuate over time, according to a study in the January Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2007-12-06)
Very low birth weight is a risk factor for 1 cause of CKD
Individuals who were underweight at birth are at increased risk of developing a condition called secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, according to a study appearing in the January 2009 issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology (CJASN). view more (2008-11-20)
