Abdominal aortic calcification score predicts the occurrence of coronary artery disease in middle ‐aged peritoneal dialysis patients
ConclusionsAAC score can predict CAD occurrence in PD patients. Age, diabetes, hypertension, dialysis vintage and low serum potassium level are main factors associated with higher AAC score. (Source: Nephrology)

The B ‐type natriuretic peptide is a useful biomarker for the estimation of volume overload in children with hypertension in children on peritoneal dialysis
ConclusionsWe should measure BNP in hypertensive patients on PD to evaluate the volume status. (Source: Nephrology)

Validation of acute kidney injury according to the modified KDIGO criteria in infants after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease
ConclusionApplication of the 3 criteria resulted in different AKI incidences, but each criterion could be useful for detecting risk factors for AKI. Notably, using m‐KDIGO criteria provides more important subsequent postoperative outcomes. The m‐KDIGO AKI criteria describe clinically relevant AKI in infants after cardiac surgery.

Clinicians ’ attitudes and approaches to evaluating the potential living kidney donor‐recipient relationship: an interview study
ConclusionsClinicians felt ethically compelled to minimise the risk of undue coercion and to protect donors and recipients when evaluating the donor‐recipient relationship. However, disentangling voluntariness and altruism from potential undisclosed pressures to enact societal and family duty, making decisions within this complex, multi‐stakeholder context, and avoiding the imposition of undue paternalism and donor autonomy, were challenging. Multidisciplinary expertise and practical strategies for managing uncertainties are required. (Source: Nephrology)

The effect of extended hours dialysis on sleep quality in a randomised trial
ConclusionsSleep quality was not significantly improved by extended hours dialysis in this study. Sleep quality is positively correlated with quality of life in haemodialysis patients and is poorer in women and current smokers. (Source: Nephrology)

Consensus Opinion on Diagnosis and Management of Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Australia and New Zealand
ABSTRACT
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) arises in a variety of clinical circumstances with the potential to cause significant dysfunction of the kidneys, brain, gastrointestinal tract and heart. TMA should be considered in all patients with thrombocytopenia and anaemia, with an immediate request to the haematology laboratory to look for red cell fragments on a blood film. Whilst TMA of any aetiology generally demands prompt treatment, this is especially so in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS), where organ failure may be precipitous, irreversible and fatal. In all ad...

Review: An Australian model of care for co ‐morbid diabetes and chronic kidney disease
Abstract
Diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are two of the most prevalent co‐morbid chronic diseases in Australia. The increasing complexity of multi‐morbidity, and current gaps in health‐care delivery for people with co‐morbid diabetes and CKD, emphasise the need for better models of care for this population. Previously, proposed published models of care for co‐morbid diabetes and CKD have not been co‐designed with stake‐holders or formally evaluated. Particular components of health‐care shown to be effective in this population are interventions that: are structured, intensive and multifaceted (trea...

Interleukin ‐10 ‐1082A/G polymorphism is associated with renal parenchymal damage in congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract
ConclusionOur results suggested that the functional ‐1082A/G polymorphism in IL10 is associated with risk of renal parenchymal damage/reduction rather than genetic predisposition to CAKUT. Additionally, our study supposes that immunoregulatory cytokine IL‐10 might has significant role in CAKUT. (Source: Nephrology)

Biomarkers for acute kidney injury in decompensated cirrhosis: A Prospective Study
ConclusionsIn patients with decompensated cirrhosis, early measurement of renal biomarkers provides valuable information on AKI etiology. It could also improve AKI diagnosis and prognosis. (Source: Nephrology)
