TL;DR: The DAPA-CKD trial showed that higher ambient heat exposure is associated with a faster loss of kidney function in patients with established, all-cause, chronic kidney disease as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the performance of two wastewater metrics in predicting high case and hospitalization rates both before and after widespread use of at-home COVID-19 tests and concluded that the predictive capability of wastewater percentile declined over time (AUC 0.84 and 0.72 for cases for second and third quarters of 2022).

TL;DR: The broader Medicare dialysis bundle reimburses providers uniformly, even though patients treated more intensively for sHPT cost more to treat, and this flat payment schedule may encourage providers to avoid high-intensity patients or reduce their treatment intensity.

TL;DR: The authors focus on Black men, who experience markedly higher rates of ESKD than nonBlack men, particularly at younger ages, and highlight one element of place, the proportion of Black residents, which contributes to rates of death and hospitalization among Black men receiving hemodialysis.

TL;DR: In this article , a cost-effectiveness analysis of using SGLT2 inhibitors to detect chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults was conducted in the United States.
