Protein excreted in urine may be help in diagnosing kidney disease caused by HIV
New data collected at Columbia University Medical Center and by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine are helping researchers understand the extent to which a certain protein - NGAL - can play a significant role in marking chronic kidney disease resulting from HIV while at the same time distinguishing nephropathy from more common causes such as... view more...

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)
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)
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)

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...

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)
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)
Kidneys from deceased donors with acute renal failure expand donor pool
Kidneys recovered from deceased donors with acute renal failure (ARF) - once deemed unusable for transplant - appear to work just as well as kidneys transplanted from deceased donors who do not develop kidney problems prior to organ donation. view more (2009-10-02)

Same-day coronary angiography and surgery safe for many patients
Mayo Clinic researchers discovered it is safe -- and much more convenient and less costly -- for many patients to undergo coronary angiography and elective valve surgery on the same day, it is reported in the current issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. view more (2007-05-24)
Painful condition affecting kidney failure patients increases risk of death
A painful and debilitating condition that affects patients with kidney failure may be more common than previously believed and appears to be strongly associated with prior exposure to certain contrast agents used in imaging studies. view more (2007-09-28)
Mayo researchers explore reasons for complications with kidney failure patients
Mayo Clinic researchers searching for explanations of high mortality rates among kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis are focusing their attention on the use of heparin, a drug used to reduce clotting of the blood. view more (2005-08-18)
Annual Report Targets Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States
A 30 percent increase in chronic kidney disease over the past decade has prompted the U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) to issue for the first time a separate report documenting the magnitude of the disease, which affects an estimated 27 million Americans and accounts for more than 24 percent of Medicare costs. view more (2008-10-09)
'Nature vs. nurture' study of deceased donor pairs in kidney transplantation
The implications of a new study could improve the outcomes, and potentially survival rates, for some of the thousands of individuals who undergo kidney transplants each year. view more (2009-04-22)
