Summary: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. European Federation of Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) conducted a survey in 2022 to evaluate CKD testing practices and offer recommendations for improving test standardization.

Summary: Cr/CysC performs well in identifying non-sarcopenia cases, especially when based on FNIH diagnostic criteria, and also reveals a positive association with higher risk of mortality. The optimal cut-off values for Cr/CysC were <1.0 in males and <0.8 in females. Expanding the use of Cr/CysC would allow for early and targeted treatment of sarcopenia.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of serum sarcopenia index and creatinine/cystatin C ratio in diagnosing sarcopenia and predicting future falls and fractures. The results showed that serum sarcopenia index had a better predictive ability than creatinine/cystatin C ratio for sarcopenia. The study also found that lower serum sarcopenia index and creatinine/cystatin C ratio were independent risk factors for sarcopenia, new falls, and fractures in the low-BMD population.

Summary: This study examined the dimensions of the acetabular labrum from existing literature, finding associations between labral size and acetabular coverage, as well as a strong correlation between hypertrophic labra and acetabular dysplasia. Imaging techniques were shown to reliably measure labral width and height.

Summary: Cancer risk is higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or albuminuria. The increased risk of cancer in CKD is influenced by various factors including patient characteristics, disease factors, and treatment factors. Renal adverse events associated with chemotherapy and newer anti-cancer therapies may contribute to worse cancer outcomes in CKD patients. Acknowledging the increased cancer risk in CKD can potentially improve management.

Summary: Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is defined as a cystatin C-based-eGFR (eGFRcys)/creatinine-based-eGFR (eGFRcreat) <0.6 or 0.7 and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of SPS in a pediatric population using various glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating formulas and measured GFR, and evaluate its potential link to cardiovascular risk. The results showed that the prevalence of SPS varied widely depending on the threshold and formulas used. Children with SPS defined by the Full-age spectrum equation (FAS) and/or European Kidney Function Consortium equation (EKFC) had higher C-reactive protein (CRP) and phosphate levels, and smaller size, which may be associated with a long-term increased cardiovascular risk. Further studies in a larger pediatric population are needed.

Summary: The kidney plays a crucial role in maintaining the steady-state of 5-30 kDa proteins, including signaling molecules, through glomerular filtration. This function has been often underestimated due to the focus on measuring GFR with low-molecular-mass substances <1 kDa. Using cystatin C as a marker for GFR has helped identify the selective impairment of filtration of 5-30 kDa molecules, leading to the discovery of shrunken pore syndrome and its associated morbidity and mortality, mainly affecting cardiovascular health.

Summary: The performance of CKD-EPI equations is lower in older adults with type 2 diabetes compared to non-diabetic individuals, but each equation still has limitations regarding accuracy in older adults with or without diabetes.

Summary: In COVID-19 patients without chronic kidney disease, elevated cystatin C levels on admission are associated with disease severity, while elevated creatinine levels are more predictive of death risk. Cystatin C has a better predictive value for disease severity, occurring earlier than creatinine abnormalities, while creatinine is more predictive of mortality risk.

Summary: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered the best overall indicator of kidney health, and understanding GFR is crucial for assessing the future risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, cardiovascular disease, and optimal medical management. GFR is often estimated using serum biomarkers like creatinine and cystatin C, but individual patient characteristics should be considered in determining the accuracy of the estimate. Direct measurement of GFR may be necessary in certain cases, such as kidney donation approval or prior to specific chemotherapy regimens. Clinical care should not solely rely on eGFR thresholds of CKD stage, but consider both the estimated kidney function and the current clinical situation.

Summary: This study suggests that estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated from serum cystatin C is a better prognostic biomarker than eGFR calculated from serum creatinine in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Summary: Despite similar precision in estimating GFR, serum cystatin C-based eGFR (eGFRcys) is generally associated with better clinical outcomes than serum creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr). This study found that among kidney transplant recipients, the risk of adverse outcomes with eGFRcr or eGFRcys is influenced by GFR and non-GFR determinants.
