Journal ArticleDOI
Rate of Kidney Function Decline Associates with Mortality
Ziyad Al-Aly,Angelique Zeringue,John Fu,John Fu,Michael I. Rauchman,Jay R. McDonald,Jay R. McDonald,Tarek M. El-Achkar,Sumitra Balasubramanian,Diana Nurutdinova,Diana Nurutdinova,Hong Xian,Kevin Stroupe,Kevin C. Abbott,Seth A. Eisen,Seth A. Eisen +15 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate an independent and graded association between the rate of kidney function decline and mortality and may transform a static definition of CKD into a dynamic one that more accurately describes the potential consequences of the disease for an individual.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher prevalence of anemia with diabetes mellitus in moderate kidney insufficiency: The Kidney Early Evaluation Program.
Tarek M. El-Achkar,Suzanne E. Ohmit,Peter A. McCullough,Errol D. Crook,Wendy W. Brown,Richard H. Grimm,George L. Bakris,William F. Keane,John M. Flack +8 more
TL;DR: Diabetes was independently correlated with anemia, more so in men than women, and may be linked to premature expression of anemia in persons with moderate reductions in kidney function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tamm-Horsfall protein protects the kidney from ischemic injury by decreasing inflammation and altering TLR4 expression
Tarek M. El-Achkar,Xue-Ru Wu,Michael I. Rauchman,Ruth McCracken,Susan M. Kiefer,Pierre C. Dagher +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that THP stabilizes the outer medulla in the face of injury by decreasing inflammation, possibly through an effect on TLR4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Nephrologist Involvement in Hospital-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury: A Pilot Study
Geetha Balasubramanian,Geetha Balasubramanian,Ziyad Al-Aly,Abdul Moiz,Michael Rauchman,Michael Rauchman,Zhiwei Zhang,Zhiwei Zhang,Rajalakshmi Gopalakrishnan,Rajalakshmi Gopalakrishnan,Sumitra Balasubramanian,Tarek M. El-Achkar,Tarek M. El-Achkar +12 more
TL;DR: Early nephrologist involvement in patients with AKI may reduce the risk of a further decrease in kidney function and a larger randomized trial is needed to confirm the findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sepsis induces changes in the expression and distribution of Toll-like receptor 4 in the rat kidney.
Tarek M. El-Achkar,Xiaoping Huang,Zoya Plotkin,Ruben M. Sandoval,Georges J. Rhodes,Pierre C. Dagher +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that TLR4, CD14, and THP have specific renal cellular and tubular expression patterns that are markedly affected by sepsis.
