Your Heart Could Indicate Whether You Have Kidney Problems
Cardiovascular risk factors appear to indicate deteriorating renal function in all adults. Researchers discovered various indicators of heart or vascular disease can signal that kidney function is on the decline in the general population, as just published in the May issue of Kidney International. view more (2005-05-12)
Acetaminophen or acetylsalicylic acid increases risk of developing chronic kidney failure
People who regularly use high dosages of pain-relievers or antipyretic drugs containing acetaminophen (paracetamol) or acetylsalicylic acid run an increased risk of developing permanent reduced kidney function (chronic renal failure). This was found in a nation-wide Swedish research study published on December 20 in The New England Journal of... view more... (2001-12-21)
Research points to a new way to protect kidneys threatened by insufficient blood or toxins

Scientists Reveal Chemical Compound Linked To Increased Heart Risk
Scientists believe that they have found a chemical responsible for increasing cardiovascular risk, it was revealed. And crucially they have identified how it is made and destroyed in the body raising the possibilty that new drugs to reduce the risk of heart disease are around the corner. A team of scientists based at the new British Heart... view more... (2002-01-16)

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)
