Comorbidity and confounding in end-stage renal disease.

Abstract:

:In the epidemiologic study of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), accurate adjustment for comorbidity is essential to controlling bias in the comparison of outcomes across groups of patients or dialysis facilities. Liu et al. derive and validate a novel comorbidity index using data from the United States Renal Data System. This novel index represents an important tool for observational research in ESRD but will not by itself overcome the potential problems of residual and unmeasured confounding in observational research.

  • Magnetic resonance imaging accurately tracks kidney pathology and heterogeneity in the transition from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease.

    abstract::Acute kidney injury (AKI) increases the risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there are few tools to detect microstructural changes after AKI. Here, cationic ferritin-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CFE-MRI) was applied to examine the heterogeneity of kidney pathology in the transition from AKI to CKD. ...
