Journal ArticleDOI

Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and higher albuminuria are associated with mortality and end-stage renal disease. A collaborative meta-analysis of kidney disease population cohorts

TL;DR: Lower eGFR and more severe albuminuria independently predict mortality and ESRD among individuals selected for CKD, with the associations stronger for E SRD than for mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

A crossover study of gabapentin in treatment of restless legs syndrome among hemodialysis patients.

TL;DR: Gabapentin is an effective treatment for RLS in hemodialysis patients in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-crossover study of gabapentin in the treatment of RLS.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of conversion from cyclosporine to tacrolimus on gingival hyperplasia, hirsutism and cholesterol.

TL;DR: If carefully monitored, patients suffering adverse effects secondary to cyclosporine may be converted to tacrolimus with minimal risk of allograft dysfunction or rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic Kidney Disease and Outcomes in Heart Failure With Preserved Versus Reduced Ejection Fraction The Cardiovascular Research Network PRESERVE Study

TL;DR: CKD is common and an important independent predictor of death and hospitalization in adults with HF across the spectrum of left ventricular systolic function and the need to develop new and effective interventions for the growing number of patients with HF complicated by CKD is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting the Risk of Dialysis and Transplant Among Patients With CKD: A Retrospective Cohort Study

TL;DR: A risk score to predict the 5-year risk of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients with stage 3 or 4 CKD can help providers identify patients with CKD at the highest risk of progression to improve referral to nephrology for comanagement.
