Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic role of ambulatory blood pressure measurement in patients with nondialysis chronic kidney disease.

TL;DR: In chronic kidney disease, ambulatory BP measurement and, in particular, nighttime BP measurement, allows more accurate prediction of renal and cardiovascular risk; office measurement of BP does not predict any outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sevelamer Versus Calcium Carbonate in Incident Hemodialysis Patients: Results of an Open-Label 24-Month Randomized Clinical Trial

TL;DR: Sevelamer compared to a calcium-containing phosphate binder improves survival in a cohort of incident hemodialysis patients, however, the better outcomes in the sevelamer group may be due to better phosphate control rather than reduction in calcium load.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and prognostic role of resistant hypertension in chronic kidney disease patients.

TL;DR: In CKD, pseudoresistance is not associated with an increased cardio-renal risk, and sustained hypertension predicts only renal outcome, and true resistance is prevalent and identifies patients carrying the highest cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early Changes in Bioelectrical Estimates of Body Composition in Chronic Kidney Disease

TL;DR: Despite the absence of overt malnutrition, patients with CKD exhibit altered BIA variables from the early phases of renal disease, which are related to the renal dysfunction, are more marked in the presence of diabetes, and mainly indicate the existence of overhydration in the absenceof edema.
