TL;DR: It is determined that common variants of UMOD are associated with DBP level in a community-based Chinese cohort.

TL;DR: It is indicated that CCI was independently associated with the risk of 30-day readmission for patients receiving dialysis including HD and PD, and could be used for risk-stratification.

TL;DR: In this paper, the most recent evidence on prevalence of diabetic microvascular complications in China and the USA (including downtrends of diabetes retinopathy and neuropathy in the USA); differences in patient risk factors of these complications; challenges and current knowledge gaps (such as lacking national epidemiological data in China); and potential future clinical and research opportunities (including needs in diabetes evaluation and management in remote areas and standardization of methods in evaluating diabetic complications across countries).

TL;DR: Early-stage chronic kidney disease was correlated with cognitive decline in an oldest-old Chinese population and was measured by measuring the estimated glomerular filtration rate at baseline.

TL;DR: Reduced kidney function is associated with a higher risk of cancer and should be integrated into risk-stratification of cancer screening and management.
