Halloween fun can turn risky—educate patients and prepare teams to prevent candy, costume, and safety hazards. Patients with KF and AF who received LAAO showed lower risks of death and bleeding compared with those treated with OACs. CMV D+/R+ kidney transplant recipients showed significant cognitive decline 3 to 8 years after transplant. For patients with APN-complicated urosepsis, emergent PCN enables earlier definitive URSL and reduces hospital stay duration. Elevated cardiometabolic index levels may signal a higher risk of kidney stones, particularly in younger or obese adults. Across age groups and education levels, the burden of chronic kidney disease due to hypertension has risen since 1990. Inflammatory markers such as the systemic inflammation response index can indicate preeclampsia-related acute kidney injury. Baxdrostat reduced blood pressure an average 8.1 mm Hg versus placebo in those with CKD and treatment-resistant hypertension. MASLD-associated cirrhosis is associated with a higher risk for nephrolithiasis than other etiologies, including hepatitis. Fabry disease presents with unique cardiovascular, ocular, and genetic features that can dramatically affect outcomes. Patients starting dialysis after graft failure have more complications and would benefit from a multidisciplinary approach. The US age-adjusted mortality rate for kidney disease related to high blood pressure increased by 48% over the past 25 years. Test your Fabry disease knowledge across systems including heart, skin, kidneys, diagnostics, and sweating abnormalities. In hemodialysis, vascular access through an arteriovenous fistula is linked to greater patient satisfaction. Ryan McDevitt, PhD, discusses how dialysis industry consolidation drives higher costs, poor outcomes, and lack of innovation. New IDSA guidelines are the organization’s first to address the management and treatment of complicated UTIs. Pregnancy hastens glomerular disease progression and raises maternal-fetal risk, particularly in women with advanced CKD. In M0 ccRCC, urine glycosaminoglycan scores showed high sensitivity to postsurgical ccRCC recurrence. This short quiz reviews essential clinical features of Fabry disease and tests your knowledge of diagnosis and presentation. An ERAS pathway incorporating a preoperative ESP block significantly reduced opioid requirements and pain post-PCNL.
