Decline is not inevitable.
A daily, evidence-graded view of everything moving in kidney research : the drugs that slow decline, the science of regeneration, and the mind-body work.
No new kidney research findings were reported today.
-
Today's daily sweep found no kidney-related research results.
-
A video about mind-body practices using a kaleidoscope was shared, but it did not mention kidney disease or report any results.
Today's research database and video review did not yield any new studies or data relevant to stage 3 chronic kidney disease. One non-medical video about relaxation techniques was found, but it lacks any connection to kidney health or outcomes. Families and patients should continue following their care team's advice while waiting for future updates.
Paediatric proteomic signatures of cardiometabolic disease-associated traits predict adult disease outcomes.
Researchers measured blood proteins in 273 Hispanic and Latino children and teens, average age about 13, and matched them to 25 early signs of trouble in the liver, body fat, blood vessels and blood sugar. Those signs belong to a cluster doctors call cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease, which can later include kidney damage. The study shows a link between childhood protein patterns and adult disease risk, not proof that the proteins cause it. It did not measure kidney filtering rate (eGFR) or protein in the urine, so the kidney part of that link is still indirect.
