Summary: This study examined various factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, with a focus on the impact of dialysis, depression, and diabetes. The results highlighted the importance of recognizing and treating depression to improve HRQOL and potentially enhance patient outcomes and reduce hospitalization rates.

Summary: Despite the limited increase in life expectancy for patients with end-stage kidney disease after the breakthrough of kidney replacement therapy, the quality of life and relief of symptoms have become increasingly important to patients. Currently, most dialysis-associated symptoms and adverse effects do not have approved treatments, and the few available treatments may add further adverse effects. This article demonstrates how understanding the pathophysiology of a particular symptom (chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus) in dialysis led to the development and regulatory approval of a treatment for that symptom. This approach can be applied to other dialysis-associated symptoms, improving the remaining years of patients' lives.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that approximately 1.5% of patients undergoing maintenance dialysis experience recovery of kidney function unrelated to acute kidney injury. The prevalence of recovery is higher in the United States compared to other countries.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in health-related quality of life before and after the initiation of dialysis in older patients with kidney failure. The results showed a significant decline in both mental and physical health-related quality of life in the year preceding dialysis, which stabilized in the year following dialysis.

Summary: This narrative review summarizes 98 studies of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the effects of vitamin supplementation on patients on dialysis. The findings suggest potential effectiveness of certain vitamins, such as B, D, or C, but recommendations for vitamins A and K are still unclear due to potential toxicity. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and risks of vitamin supplementation for CKD patients.

Summary: The global nephrology community acknowledges the increasing burden of kidney disease and emphasizes on early diagnosis, understanding of disease progression, and development of new therapeutic interventions. FGF21 is considered a key regulator of lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism, as well as stress responses. While promising results have been shown with FGF21 analogs in metabolic disease, its exact role in kidney function remains poorly understood.

Summary: This study aimed to compare symptoms and health-related quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients and found that as kidney function deteriorated, symptoms worsened and health-related quality of life decreased. Early identification and proactive management by nurses are crucial for reducing symptom burden and improving quality of life in these patients.

Summary: By comparing the quality of life (QoL) scores before and after parathyroidectomy (PTX), it was found that PTX can improve the QoL of dialysis patients with medically refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism. After PTX, nutritional markers improved and several domain scale scores of KDQOL-36, including Symptoms and Problems of Kidney Disease, Burden of Kidney Disease, Effects of Kidney Disease, Physical Component Summary (PCS) score, and Mental Component Summary score, significantly increased. Furthermore, the duration of PTX was found to have a significant negative correlation with PCS subscale scores and a positive correlation with EKD subscale scores.

Summary: This study assessed the quality of life of dialysis patients and examined its determinants. The results showed no significant difference in the mean score of health-related quality of life components among different dialysis types. Demographic data did not significantly affect the quality of life of dialysis patients. Patients with a dialysis duration of more than 5 years had a better quality of life. Laboratory parameters such as low albumin and low hemoglobin showed a significant correlation with the health-related quality of life of dialysis patients.

Summary: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and sudden exacerbation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) often require urgent kidney replacement therapy (UKRT). Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is seen as a viable option for managing these patients. This review examines recent literature on the clinical outcomes of urgent-start peritoneal dialysis (USPD) in CKD and AKI.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of dialysis modality on mental health and quality of life in patients. The results showed that dialyzed patients had higher levels of anxiety and depression and lower quality of life. Peritoneal dialysis was associated with lower anxiety levels but poorer social functioning and more physical discomfort.

Summary: This study explores the impact of physical exercise on the quality of life in patients with end-stage renal disease, considering the most common associated diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. The findings suggest that implementing appropriate intensity of physical exercise and avoiding sedentary lifestyles have positive effects on the quality of life in end-stage renal disease patients.

Summary: CKD-aP is a common yet underrecognized condition in patients with CKD and ESKD, with potential negative impacts on HRQoL and associations with sleep disturbance and depression. Several studies have found CKD-aP to be a predictor of adverse medical outcomes, including increased risk of hospitalizations and mortality.

Summary: Chronic kidney disease is a progressive disease with no cure, and preserving kidney function through lifestyle adjustments and pharmacological interventions can improve outcomes. A plant-dominant, low-protein, and low-salt diet may help mitigate glomerular hyperfiltration and preserve renal function. Various pharmacotherapies can also be used to alter intrarenal haemodynamics and protect the kidney from further damage.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the data of 37,117 patients with hypertension and found that influenza vaccination can decrease the risk of developing chronic kidney disease in these patients, and the protective effect is dose-dependent.
