An angiotensin II receptor blocker-calcium channel blocker combination prevents cardiovascular events in elderly high-risk hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease better than high-dose angiotensin II receptor blockade alone.
The OSCAR study was a multicenter, open-label RCT carried out in Japanese elderly hypertensive patients. Patients were randomized to angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) dose up-titration versus an ARB plus calcium channel blocker combination.
In the pre-specified subgroup of patients with CKD, more primary events (a composite of cardiovascular events and noncardiovascular death) occurred in the high-dose ARB group than in the combination group.

Quality of Life and Survival in Patients with Advanced Kidney Failure Managed Conservatively or by Dialysis
This prospective study examined patients who chose conservative therapy and those who chose dialysis in the setting of end-stage renal disease. Patients choosing conservative care maintained quality of life and had adjusted median survival that was 13 months shorter than those who started hemodialysis.

Should mycophenolate mofetil replace cyclophosphamide as first-line therapy for severe lupus nephritis?
The side-effect profile of cyclophosphamide is well-known and most clinicians only prescribe it in the most severe disease. This review compares cyclophosphamide to mycophenolate mofetil for induction and maintenance therapy for severe lupus nephritis. Using the available evidence, the authors conclude that mycophenolate mofetil is a viable alternative for therapy, although cyclophosphamide may have a role under specific circumstances.

Body Mass Index in 1.2 Million Adolescents and Risk for End-Stage Renal Disease
This population-based retrospective cohort study linked medical data from military service fitness examinations to the Israeli ESRD registry to determine if there is a link between BMI and development of ESRD. Over 1 million adolescents age 17 years underwent a fitness examinations from 1967-1997. This was linked to incident treated cases of ESRD from 1980 to 2010. In a multivariate adjusted model, being overweight and obese in adolescence was associated with a significant risk for all-cause treated ESRD.
