Digital health interventions (DHIs) have long been thought of as a convenient way to deliver aspects of healthcare and broaden access to services. For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), DHIs designed to improve health literacy, self-efficacy and health-related behaviours such as physical activity, diet and adherence have been developed and are being tested, but their translation into clinical practice will be challenging.

While electrolyte disorders are common in nephrologists’ clinical practice, hypothermia is a condition that nephrologists rarely encounter. Hypothermia can induce several pathophysiological effects on the human body, including hypokalaemia, which is reversible with rewarming.

In the last decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have become a cornerstone in the treatment of a wide range of malignancies. It is well established that ICI are associated with multiple immune-related adverse events, a spectrum of autoimmune toxicities, that can also affect the kidney.

With the emergence of hypoxia inducible factor–prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) came the hope that using these oral drugs could improve the treatment of the anemia of kidney disease. In this editorial we discuss the accumulated knowledge on these agents and the clinical context for use.

The population with concomitant heart and kidney disease (often termed ‘cardiorenal’ disease) is expected to grow, significantly impacting public health and healthcare utilization.
Should we CLICK on chlorthalidone for treatment-resistant hypertension in chronic kidney disease?

Treatment-resistant hypertension is common among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). In people with preserved kidney function, spironolactone is an evidence-based treatment. However, the risk for hyperkalemia limits its use in people with more advanced CKD.

Tirzepatide is a twincretin recently approved to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). More specifically, tirzepatide is an agonist of both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) receptors.

Frailty, characterized by a decreased physiological reserve and an increased vulnerability to stressors, is common among kidney transplant (KT) candidates and recipients. In this review, we present and summarize the key arguments for and against the assessment of frailty as part of KT evaluation.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPIs) are a novel therapeutic approach to cancer treatment that have changed the landscape of cancer therapy but also have some considerable drawbacks. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of these potential complications that may have effects on patient outcomes. In this review, we assessed the effect of AKI on mortality outcomes in cancer patients receiving this immunotherapy.

The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) including dialysis is growing. Several studies have shown favorable results of DOAC compared with warfarin regarding bleeding risk but no difference in stroke protection.

Renal anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with poor outcomes. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilizer, which induces endogenous erythropoietin synthesis and enhances iron mobilization, is a novel treatment for anemia in CKD. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the effect of HIF stabilizers in anemic CKD patients.

A key feature of dialysis treatment is the prescription of dialysate sodium (Na). This study aimed to describe the practical implementation of a new automated dialysate Na control biosensor and to assess its tolerance and the beneficial clinical effects of isonatraemic dialysis.

Chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients exhibit severe morpho-functional cardiac alterations, putting them at a high risk of death and adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Despite the fact that an unbalanced expression of various microRNAs (miRNAs) has been related to pathological cardiac remodeling and worse CV outcomes, scarce evidence exists on their role in this setting.
