Prospective study of change in skin autofluorescence over time and mortality in people receiving hemodialysis (2024)
Journal Article
Viramontes-Hörner, D., Selby, N. M., & Taal, M. W. (2024). Prospective study of change in skin autofluorescence over time and mortality in people receiving hemodialysis. Kidney International Reports, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ekir.2024.03.020

Introduction: Elevated skin autofluorescence (SAF), a measure of tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), is a strong predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the hemodialysis population. However, prospective studi... Read More about Prospective study of change in skin autofluorescence over time and mortality in people receiving hemodialysis.

Regional variation of COVID-19 admissions, acute kidney injury and mortality in England - a national observational study using administrative data (2024)
Journal Article
Kolhe, N. V., Fluck, R. J., & Taal, M. W. (in press). Regional variation of COVID-19 admissions, acute kidney injury and mortality in England - a national observational study using administrative data. BMC Infectious Diseases, 24(1), Article 346. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-024-09210-6

Background: This study explores regional variations in COVID-19 hospitalization rates, in-hospital mortality, and acute kidney injury (AKI) in England. We investigated the influence of population demographic characteristics, viral strain changes, and...

Patient and health professional views on risk-stratified monitoring of immune-suppressing treatment in adults with inflammatory diseases. Rheumatology, Article keae175. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keae175

Objective To explore the acceptability of an individualised risk-stratified approach to monitoring for target-organ toxicity in adult patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases established on immune-suppressing treatment(s). Methods Adu... Read More about Patient and health professional views on risk-stratified monitoring of immune-suppressing treatment in adults with inflammatory diseases.

Multivariate canonical correlation analysis identifies additional genetic variants for chronic kidney disease (2024)
Journal Article
Osborne, A. J., Bierzynska, A., Colby, E., Andag, U., Kalra, P. A., Radresa, O., …Campbell, C. (2024). Multivariate canonical correlation analysis identifies additional genetic variants for chronic kidney disease. npj Systems Biology and Applications, 10(1), Article 28. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41540-024-00350-8

Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) have genetic associations with kidney function. Univariate genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and blo...

Risk-stratified monitoring for sulfasalazine toxicity: prognostic model development and validation (2024)
Journal Article

Background Sulfasalazine-induced cytopenia, nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity is uncommon during long-term treatment. Some guidelines recommend 3 monthly monitoring blood tests indefinitely during long-term treatment while others recommend stopping m...

Potentially modifiable factors associated with health-related quality of life among people with chronic kidney disease: baseline findings from the National Unified Renal Translational Research Enterprise CKD (NURTuRE-CKD) cohort (2024)
Journal Article
Phillips, T., Harris, S., Aiyegbusi, O. L., Lucas, B., Benavente, M., Roderick, P. J., …Fraser, S. D. S. (2024). Potentially modifiable factors associated with health-related quality of life among people with chronic kidney disease: baseline findings from the National Unified Renal Translational Research Enterprise CKD (NURTuRE-CKD) cohort. Clinical Kidney Journal, 17(2), Article sfae010. https://doi.org/10.1093/ckj/sfae010

Background Many non-modifiable factors are associated with poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) experienced by people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We hypothesize that potentially modifiable factors for poor HRQoL can be identified amo...
