Sep. 16, 2022 —It is commonly believed that patients with chronic kidney disease should limit their protein intake given that excessive protein worsens kidney function. However, a new study indicates that changes ...
Aug. 18, 2020 —Research has shown that two proteins found in deceased donor urine can be measured to define which donor organs -- including those with AKI -- are the best candidates for saving the lives of patients ...
Jan. 5, 2022 —Researchers have developed a CRISPR-based assay that can sensitively and non-invasively detect a biomarker of acute kidney rejection in urine. This could someday help diagnose rejection earlier and ...
Feb. 1, 2022 —Researchers have created a complex kidney tissue solely from mouse embryonic stem cells. These organoids could lead the way to better kidney research and, eventually, artificial kidneys for human ...
Apr. 25, 2022 —The risk of major complications for people who donate a kidney via laparoscopic surgery is minimal. That is the conclusion of a 20-year study of more than 3,000 living kidney donors. Only 2.5% of ...
Mar. 23, 2022 —Researchers have conducted a retrospective study of over 3100 people with chronic kidney disease to evaluate the association between mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) use and renal ...
July 22, 2021 —After kidney transplantation, natural killer cells of the recipient become active because they miss 'self' proteins on donor cells. These cells contribute to organ rejection, in addition to ...
July 18, 2022 —Adding immunotherapy to standard anti-rejection medication could change the lives of thousands of kidney transplant patients with incurable cancer, as new research shows it can reduce this risk of ...
Jan. 20, 2022 —Researchers have announced the first peer-reviewed research outlining the successful transplant of genetically modified, clinical-grade pig kidneys into a brain-dead human individual, replacing the ...
Apr. 15, 2021 —Researchers have found that the anti-diabetic drug metformin significantly prolongs the survival of mice in a model that simulates the pathology of non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD) by ...
