Renal dysfunction is one of the most critical risk factors for developing heart failure (HF). However, the association between repeated measures of renal function and incident HF remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the longitudinal trajectories of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and serum creatinine and their association with new-onset HF and all-cause mortality.Methods and resultsUsing… Continue reading Trajectories of #renal biomarkers and new-onset #heart failure in the general population: Findings from the PREVEND study

Second-Line Therapy for Type 2 #Diabetes Management: The Treatment/Benefit Paradox of #Cardiovascular and #Kidney Comorbidities
To examine whether glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are preferentially initiated among patients with cardiovascular disease, heart failure (HF), or nephropathy, where these drug classes have established benefit, compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), for which corresponding benefits have not been demonstrated. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We… Continue reading Second-Line Therapy for Type 2 #Diabetes Management: The Treatment/Benefit Paradox of #Cardiovascular and #Kidney Comorbidities
#Renal Failure is Associated With Increased Mortality and Hospital Utilization in Patients Admitted With Nonalcoholic #Steatohepatitis
We aimed to investigate the mortality and hospital utilization outcomes of hospitalized nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients with and without kidney failure in a nationwide cohort.. ..The overall sample included 7,135,090 patients. Among 6855 patients admitted for NASH, 598 or 8.7% had comorbid kidney failure. After multivariate regression analysis, NASH patients with renal failure had increased… Continue reading #Renal Failure is Associated With Increased Mortality and Hospital Utilization in Patients Admitted With Nonalcoholic #Steatohepatitis
