Background Change in albuminuria as a surrogate endpoint for progression of chronic kidney
disease is strongly supported by biological plausibility, but empirical evidence to support …

BACKGROUND: The global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues in
several jurisdictions, causing substantial strain to health care systems. The purpose of our …

Importance Early identification of individuals at elevated risk of developing chronic kidney
disease (CKD) could improve clinical care through enhanced surveillance and better …

Conclusions Modeling can be a useful tool to provide evidence to support policymakers and
decision-making throughout a pandemic. In this commentary, we provided a description of …

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for kidney
failure, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. Accurate models are needed to predict …

Background Economic evaluations provide a unique opportunity to identify the optimal strategies
for the diagnosis and management of traumatic brain injury (TBI), for which uncertainty …

Background: Although measuring albuminuria is the preferred method for defining and
staging chronic kidney disease (CKD), total urine protein or dipstick protein is often measured …

Background. Hypertension is the prime contributor for cardiovascular mortality in the
dialysis population. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been thought to improve blood pressure (BP) …

eGFR is a robust predictor of ESRD risk. However, the prognostic information gained from the
past trajectory (slope) beyond that of the current eGFR is unclear. We examined 22 cohorts …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) measures (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]
and albuminuria) are frequently assessed in clinical practice and improve the …
