Journal ArticleDOI
Revised equations for estimated GFR from serum creatinine in Japan.
Seiichi Matsuo,Enyu Imai,Masaru Horio,Yoshinari Yasuda,Kimio Tomita,Kosaku Nitta,Kunihiro Yamagata,Yasuhiko Tomino,Hitoshi Yokoyama,Akira Hishida +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the modified isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS)-traceable 4-variable modified modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for Japanese patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy Substrate Modulates Mitochondrial Structure and Oxidative Capacity in Cancer Cells
Rodrigue Rossignol,Robert Gilkerson,Robert Aggeler,Kunihiro Yamagata,S. James Remington,Roderick A. Capaldi +5 more
TL;DR: The data show that the defective mitochondrial system described in cancer cells can be dramatically improved by solely changing substrate availability and that HeLa cells can adapt their mitochondrial network structurally and functionally to derive energy by glutaminolysis only.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of glomerular filtration rate by the MDRD study equation modified for Japanese patients with chronic kidney disease
Enyu Imai,Masaru Horio,Kosaku Nitta,Kunihiro Yamagata,Kunitoshi Iseki,Shigeko Hara,Nobuyuki Ura,Yutaka Kiyohara,Hideki Hirakata,Tsuyoshi Watanabe,Toshiki Moriyama,Yasuhiro Ando,Daiki Inaguma,Ichiei Narita,Hiroyasu Iso,Kenji Wakai,Yoshinari Yasuda,Yusuke Tsukamoto,Sadayoshi Ito,Hirofumi Makino,Akira Hishida,Seiichi Matsuo +21 more
TL;DR: Although the Japanese coefficient improves the accuracy of G FR estimation of the original MDRD study equation, a new equation is needed for more accurate estimation of GFR in Japanese patients with CKD stages 3 and 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for chronic kidney disease in a community-based population: a 10-year follow-up study
Kunihiro Yamagata,K Ishida,T Sairenchi,Hideto Takahashi,Shoji Ohba,T Shiigai,Mitsuharu Narita,Akio Koyama +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that not only hypertension and diabetes but also several metabolic abnormalities were independent risk factors for developing CKD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the Japanese general population
Enyu Imai,Masaru Horio,Tsuyoshi Watanabe,Kunitoshi Iseki,Kunihiro Yamagata,Shigeko Hara,Nobuyuki Ura,Yutaka Kiyohara,Toshiki Moriyama,Yasuhiro Ando,Shoichi Fujimoto,Tsuneo Konta,Hitoshi Yokoyama,Hirofumi Makino,Akira Hishida,Seiichi Matsuo +15 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of CKD stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 + 5 were 0.6, 1.7, 10.7 and 0.2% in the study population, which resulted in predictions of 0.3% of the Japanese adult population—approximately 13.3 million people—were predicted to have CKD in 2005.
