TLDR
In this article, a meta-analysis of general population cohorts was conducted to assess the independent and combined associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria with mortality.

Mendelian Randomization as an Approach to Assess Causality Using Observational Data

TL;DR: Special issues in nephrology are discussed, such as inverse risk factor associations in advanced disease, and opportunities to design Mendelian randomization studies around kidney function and disease are outlined.

Systematic review: blood pressure target in chronic kidney disease and proteinuria as an effect modifier.

TL;DR: Comparing lower versus higher blood pressure targets in adult patients with CKD and focusing on proteinuria as an effect modifier shows available evidence is inconclusive but does not prove that a blood pressure target of less than 130/80 mm Hg improves clinical outcomes more than a target of more than 140/90mm Hg.

KDOQI Commentary KDOQI US Commentary on the 2012 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of CKD

TL;DR: A work group agreed with most of the recommendations contained in the KDIGO guidelines, particularly the recommendations regarding the definition and classification of CKD, however, there were some concerns about incorporating the cause of disease into CKD classification.

K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for chronic kidney disease: Evaluation, classification, and stratification

TL;DR: In the early 1990s, the National Kidney Foundation (K/DOQI) developed a set of clinical practice guidelines to define chronic kidney disease and to classify stages in the progression of kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease and the risks of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization

TL;DR: The longitudinal glomerular filtration rate was estimated among 1,120,295 adults within a large, integrated system of health care delivery in whom serum creatinine had been measured between 1996 and 2000 and who had not undergone dialysis or kidney transplantation.

Using standardized serum creatinine values in the modification of diet in renal disease study equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate.

TL;DR: The MDRD Study equation has now been reexpressed for use with a standardized serum creatinine assay, allowing GFR estimates to be reported in clinical practice by using standardized serumcreatinine and overcoming this limitation to the current use of GFR estimating equations.
