TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether bariatric surgery influences CKD risk and found that treatment with Bariatric surgery associated with an improvement in CKD in a large proportion of patients for up to 7 years, especially in those with moderate and high baseline risk.

TL;DR: Treatment with bariatric surgery is associated with an improvement in CKD risk categories in a large proportion of patients for up to 7 years, especially in those with moderate and high baseline risk.

TL;DR: Remission of type 2 diabetes 5 years after bariatric surgery was associated with improvements in albuminuria and stabilized prognostic risk for CKD, but not with eGFR, which highlights the need to identify the mechanisms through whichbariatric surgery may delay the long-term progression of CKD in type 1 diabetes.

TL;DR: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore (PC) and dual basal core promoter (BCP) mutations halt and down‐regulate hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) production respectively are examined to examine the association of these variants with HBV genotypes, age, and HBeAg status in a racially diverse population in North America.

TL;DR: In this large diverse cohort of untreated CHB participants, at-risk alcohol use, current tobacco use and limited coffee consumption did not have an association with high ALT and FIB-4 values, and significant associations were found between the frequency of these lifestyle behaviors and sociodemographic factors.
