Summary: Chronic psychological distress is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and inflammatory factors may play a crucial role in this association. This study found that a metabolite profile linked with distress was associated with increased risk of CVD and inflammation-related risk factors.

Summary: There are multiple childhood risk factors associated with future onset and progression of CKD, including genetic factors, perinatal factors, childhood kidney diseases, childhood onset of chronic conditions, and different lifestyle factors. The available published information suggests that the lifelong risk for CKD can be attributed to multiple factors that appear already during childhood, but results are conflicting on the effects of childhood physical activity, diet, and dyslipidemia on future renal function. On the other hand, there is consistent evidence to support follow-up of high-risk groups.

Summary: Patients with chronic kidney disease have a higher risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, partly independent from established risk factors. This review discusses the impact of kidney disease on stroke risk and consequences, as well as the underlying mechanisms.

Summary: This research investigated the progression of CKD in dogs and identified risk factors, while following treatment recommendations. The study highlighted advanced age as a major risk factor for CKD, and emphasized the importance of monitoring serum SDMA levels for early detection and management of the disease.

Summary: The study found that a higher intake of vitamin E may help prevent Parkinson's disease, while vitamin C and beta-carotene do not have the same effect. Another study also found a negative correlation between dietary intake of vitamin C and Parkinson's disease, but further research is needed.

Summary: Intraoperative hypotension and blood loss during radical nephrectomy are significant risk factors for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Acute kidney injury (AKI) after surgery is related to the presence of CKD and decline in renal function after 12 months. Factors such as higher preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and contralateral kidney CT volume reduce the risk of postoperative CKD. NLR > 3.5 can predict the risk of AKI with CKD upstage. Overall, half of patients after radical nephrectomy are at increased risk of CKD.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of air pollutants on chronic kidney disease in the European population and explores the modification effect of genetic risk. The results show that exposure to PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and NOx increases the risk of CKD, especially in individuals with low to intermediate genetic risk.

Summary: Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive and irreversible inflammatory disorder of the pancreas caused by various genetic and environmental factors. Genetic variants play a significant role in early-onset nonalcoholic CP patients, with new CP-related genes continuously emerging from genetic studies. Functional studies have categorized genetic alterations into subgroups related to CP-driving pathological pathways.

Summary: Over the past 20 years, cardiovascular disease has been recognized as an important complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a leading cause of death in children and young adults with CKD. Early cardiovascular abnormalities progress during the course of CKD in children. The study aims to characterize the prevalence and evolution of cardiovascular disease risk factors in progressive CKD.

Summary: The study showed that chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients can benefit from nutrition education (NE) and lifestyle adjustments in improving kidney function and cardiovascular risk factors, particularly for patients who smoke or have inactive physical activity. Nutrition education may play a positive role in enhancing kidney function and improving cardiovascular risk factors.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a simple and high-precision machine learning model to identify individuals at risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the near future, using a novel metabolic index with or without creatinine. The study found that the novel metabolic index had stronger predictive power than conventional risk factors, and machine learning models accurately identified individuals at risk using this index.

Summary: The study found that NCDs have an impact on the risk of adverse outcomes in dengue, with rheumatoid arthritis and related diseases associated with the highest risk. Chronic kidney disease and diabetes were linked to higher risks of hospitalization, ICU use, and all-cause mortality. The presence of multiple chronic diseases was associated with an increased risk of adverse dengue outcomes.
