Consensus Statement on Research Priorities for the Management of Gout in Chronic Kidney Disease
A consensus statement from the Gout, Hyperuricemia and Crystal-Associated Disease Network (G-CAN) included key areas for research to address challenges in the management of gout in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Results of Population-Based Study Show That Ankylosing Spondylitis May Increase Risk for Amyloidosis
Researchers aimed to evaluate the risk, predictors, and prognostic outcomes of amyloidosis among patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Hyperuricemia Increases Risks for Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality
Each 1 mg/dL rise in uric acid level was significantly associated with a 21% and 10% increased risk for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, respectively, a study found.
Researchers Identify Abnormal Plasma Proteins From Patients With Gout Using HPLC-MS/MS
Researchers detected differential proteins in the plasma of patients with gout, patients with gout with kidney damage, and individuals without gout.
COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Efficacy Weaker in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Findings support COVID-19 vaccination of patients on dialysis but suggest that a shift in vaccine strategy for kidney transplant recipients may be warranted.
Vertebral Fracture Common in End-Stage Kidney Disease
In a small study, 34% of dialysis patients had vertebral fractures, and patients in the highest tertile of parathyroid hormone level had a nearly 3-fold increased risk of these fractures compared with those in the middle tertile.
IL-6 Levels Linked to Progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease
In a small trial, patients with the highest tertile of IL-6 experienced significantly faster progression of diabetic kidney disease.
Patients on Hemodialysis Have Antibody Response to COVID-19 Vaccine
Most hemodialysis patients (HDP) but few kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) develop antibody responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) after receipt of an mRNA vaccine.
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Promising for Patients Receiving Hemodialysis
Researchers evaluated response to the COVID-19 vaccine in patients undergoing hemodialysis in light of the frequency of vaccine hyporesponsiveness in immunocompromised patients.
