Genetic breakthrough offers promise in tackling kidney tumors
A new study has shown promising results in fighting a severe genetic disorder which can create tumours throughout the body. view more (2008-01-11)
Extreme obesity affects chances of kidney transplantation
For patients on the waiting list for a kidney transplant, severe and morbid obesity are associated with a lower chance of receiving an organ, reports a study in the February Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-01-11)
Long-term complications of melamine consumption in children
Children with a history of consuming melamine-contaminated milk powder are at an increased risk of developing kidney stones and other urological complications. view more (2009-04-27)
Kidney transplant patients face higher skin cancer risk
People who receive a kidney transplant are nearly four times more likely than the general population to develop melanoma, a rare but deadly form of skin cancer. view more (2005-09-29)
Type 2 diabetics' acidity heightens risk for kidney stones
People with type 2 diabetes have highly acidic urine, a metabolic feature that explains their greater risk for developing uric-acid kidney stones. view more (2006-04-06)
Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development
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 (2007-09-14)
Vaccine shows promise for kidney cancer (pp 583, 594)
Results of a phase III study from Germany in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a tumour-based vaccine could reduce disease recurrence and increase survival of patients who have had surgery for kidney cancer. 3% of cancer occurs in the kidney, with around 12,000 renal-cancer deaths a year in the USA. Removal of part or all of the kidney... view more... (2004-02-18)
NYU scientists identify critical protein complex in formation of cell cilia
An international team led by NYU Cancer Institute have identified a protein complex that regulates the formation of cilia, which are found on virtually all mature human cells and are essential to normal cell function. view more (2008-08-20)
Innovations needed to monitor kidney health
Doctor Harry Holthöfer, M.D., Ph.D, at the University of Helsinki, Finland, coordinates a new EU-funded project, which aims to develop new diagnostic approaches for early identification of patients at high risk of rapid loss of kidney function. view more (2006-05-26)
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)
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)
Cancer cells 'reprogram' energy needs to grow and spread, study suggests
Studying a rare inherited syndrome, researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that cancer cells can reprogram themselves to turn down their own energy-making machinery and use less oxygen, and that these changes might help cancer cells survive and spread. view more (2007-05-08)
New project to analyze why Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and insulin resistance are so closely linked
Understanding the link between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance is the aim of a new project announced today, funded by the charity WellBeing of Women. view more (2007-03-13)
Gene hunters target child kidney failure
Researchers are zeroing in on the genetic abnormalities predisposing to vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), one of the most common causes of urinary tract infections and kidney failure in children, reports a study in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2009-05-15)
Race, insurance status affect access to transplantation and kidney disease treatment
Universal access to health care might help to overcome racial and ethnic barriers to treatment for kidney disease, suggest two studies in the March 2008 issue of Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-02-28)
Kidney donor age linked to aortic siffening
Transplantation of kidneys from older donors is followed by increased stiffening of the recipient's aorta-which may help to explain the higher rates of cardiovascular disease and death in patients receiving kidneys from "expanded criteria" donors, reports a study in the April Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-02-22)
Kidney function discovery sheds light on genetic complexity of disease
To find a cure for cancer, haemophilia and other diseases, researchers need to be looking for complex, interacting genetic factors, according to the authors of a new study. view more (2008-11-26)
Researchers seek children for a study of antibiotics for a urinary tract disorder
Researchers conducting a study to learn if children with a urinary tract disorder known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) should be treated with an antibiotic for an extended period of time are seeking to enroll more participants. view more (2008-06-23)
Obese patients wait longer for kidney transplants, research suggests
New research from Johns Hopkins specialists suggests that obese kidney disease patients face not only the usual long odds of a tissue match and organ rejection, but also are significantly less likely than normal-weight people to receive a kidney transplant at all. view more (2007-12-20)
Medical College of Wisconsin study finds drug may limit radiation kidney damage in BMT patients
Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have found that the risk of radiation injury in normal tissue after exposure may be reduced by a drug in common use. view more (2007-11-15)
