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.

CKD and Risk for Hospitalization With Infection: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

TL;DR: Increasing provider awareness of chronic kidney disease as a risk factor for infection is needed to reduce infection-related morbidity and mortality.

Cause-Specific Deaths in Non–Dialysis-Dependent CKD

TL;DR: Examination of the leading causes of death among a non-dialysis-dependent CKD population using an electronic medical record-based CKD registry in a large healthcare system and the Ohio Department of Health mortality files found malignancy-related deaths more common among those with earlier stages of kidney disease.

Defining the Natural History of Uremic Cardiomyopathy in Chronic Kidney Disease: The Role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

TL;DR: The use of cardiac magnetic resonance in CKD has brought about an improved understanding of the adverse CV changes collectively known as uremic cardiomyopathy, and the use of lower doses and lower-risk gadolinium agents that appear to minimize this risk are brought about.

TL;DR: Clinicians treating people with diabetes should not forget that, in the short term, the greatest gains are likely to be realised by more consistent deployment of existing therapies.

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.
