TL;DR: A meta-analysis suggests that even in those with ICDs, there is still a 2.7-fold increased mortality risk in patients who receive dialysis compared with those who do not, and Beta blockers may be less cardioprotective in patients with I CDs who are on dialysis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the multidisciplinary care program provided better health care and reduced renal replacement therapy in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease by decreasing hospitalizations, emergent start, and the need for kidneys replacement therapy, and was cost-effective.

TL;DR: Dialysis-requiring AKI patients had a higher risk of developing de novo severe sepsis than the non-AKI group and even patients who recovered from AKI had a high risk of long-term severe Sepsis.

TL;DR: The data from experimental studies to clinical outcome studies in the field of organ crosstalk following AKI was summarized and the long-term consequences of distant organ-system, including liver, heart, brain, lung, gut, bone, immune system, and malignancy followingAKI with temporary dialysis were reviewed and discussed.

TL;DR: It is revealed that chronic HCV infection is associated with an increased risk of developing ESRD and suggests that elevated serum levels of HCV RNA (>167,000 IU/mL) and HCV genotype 1 are strong predictors of ESRd, indicating clinical implications for the management of chronicHCV.
