Background/Aims. Subclinical atherosclerosis and long-term glycemic variability have been reported to predict incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. However, these associations have not been investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes with preserved kidney function. Methods. We prospectively followed up 162 patients with type 2 diabetes (mean age, 62.3 years; 53.6% m...

background elevated serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (ggt) is predictive of various cardiovascular (cv) risk factors including chronic kidney disease (ckd). elevated serum ggt has been recognized in smokers who are likely to develop ckd, but no study has focused on serum ggt and ckd in smokers. objectives the aim of this study was to clarify the associations between cigarette consumption, elevat...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined by abnormalities in kidney function or damage stable for more than three months, is a relatively common disease in Japan. A high prevalence of pain-associated disease is reported in the CKD population. Thus, there is ample opportunity to manage pain in patients with CKD in ordinary clinical practice. When administering analgesics to patients with CKD, we sh...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Epidemiological studies have shown that the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is huge. CKD is a non-specific diagnosis, however, and it is hard to say which renal disorders comprise the body of CKD diagnosed on the strength of the combination of albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in epidemiological studies, or just how efficient such studi...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) atau penyakit ginjal kronik adalah kerusakan yang berlangsung selama tiga bulan lebih, ditandai dengan kelainan struktur ataupun fungsi ginjal, baik disertai maupun tanpa penurunan laju filtrasi glomerulus (glomerular filtration rate/GFR). Anak CKD berisiko mengalami gangguan nutrisi. Prevalensi malnutrisi pada anak dilaporkan sekitar 20%-45%. Malnutrisi telah terbu...
