Remarkable progress has recently been achieved in blood pressure (BP) control based on key research findings in the general population. It has been observed that maintaining BP slightly lower than previously recommended goals leads to better clinical outcomes, provided that patients can tolerate it. Previously, BP control targets for dialysis patients were extrapolated from studies conducted on the general population....
- Pharmacologic therapeutics in sarcopenia with chronic kidney disease

Inflammation, metabolic acidosis, renin-angiotensin system activation, insulin resistance, and impaired perfusion to skeletal muscles, among others, are possible causes of uremic sarcopenia. These conditions induce the activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, adenosine triphosphate ubiquitin-proteasome system, and reactive oxygen species system, resulting in protein catabolism. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in chronic...

- Validation of operational definitions of mortality in a nationwide hemodialysis population using the Health
Insurance Review and Assessment Service databases of Korea

Background: Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service’s (HIRA) claims data have been used in studies of hemodialysis patients even though information about mortality is not provided in this database. Mortality analysis using HIRA data has been conducted using various operational definitions that have not been validated. This study aimed to validate operational definitions of mortality for maintenance hemodialysis patients that...
- Glomerulonephritis following COVID-19 infection or vaccination: a multicenter study in South Korea

Background: Despite the widespread impact of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) and vaccination in South Korea, our understanding of kidney diseases following these events remains limited. We aimed to address this gap by investigating the characteristics of glomerular diseases following the COVID-19 infection and vaccination in South Korea. Methods: Data from multiple centers were...
- Vitamin D and narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus

Background: In addition to improving the serum vitamin D balance, narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy can effectively treat chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP). We investigated the degree of CKD-aP amelioration according to changes in the serum vitamin D level after NB-UVB phototherapy. Methods: This was a before–after clinical study in patients with refractory CKD-aP on hemodialysis. NB-UVB phototherapy was administered... -

Background: Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox factor-1 (APE1/Ref-1) is a multipotent protein that plays essential roles in cellular responses to oxidative stress. Methods: To examine the role of APE1/Ref-1 in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced renal tubular apoptosis, we studied male C57BL6 mice and human proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells treated with H2O2 at different concentrations. The colocalization of APE1/Ref-1...
- Risk of mortality and cause of death according to kidney function parameters: a nationwide observational study in Korea

Background: Further study is warranted to determine the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or albuminuria and the risk of death from diverse causes. Methods: We screened >10 million general health screening examinees who received health examinations conducted in 2009 using the claims database of Korea. After the exclusion of those previously diagnosed with renal failure and those with...
- A collaborative model between dialysis clinics and a hospital center improves the quality of vascular access care and intervention for hemodialysis patients

Background: This study reports the outcomes of a collaborative program between dialysis clinics and a referral hospital, which consisted of clinical monitoring and supplementary routine surveillance, for improving the quality of vascular access care. Methods: This retrospective observational study was performed at five dialysis clinics as part of a 2-year collaborative program (2019–2020) in conjunction with a hospital-based dialysis access...
- Circulatory endostatin level and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis

Background: Endostatin is released during extracellular matrix remodeling and is involved in the development of vascular pathology and cardiovascular (CV) disease. However, the role of circulating endostatin as a biomarker of vascular calcification and CV events in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) remains unclear. Methods: A total of 372 patients undergoing HD were prospectively recruited. Plasma endostatin levels were measured at...

Background: Multiple risk factors are involved in new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) after organ transplantation; however, their ability to predict clinical prognosis remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated whether patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could help predict DM development before performing kidney transplantation (KT). Methods: We first performed whole transcriptome and functional enrichment analyses of KT patient-derived iPSCs. Our results revealed...
