Background: Data on epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are limited. In this study, we assess the prevalence of CVD in patients with ADPKD and evaluate the association between these two entities. Methods: Using the national inpatient sample database, we identified 71,531 hospitalizations among adults aged ≥18 […]

Background: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation is a commonly utilized procedure used for patients with chronic liver disease and resistant portal hypertension. Previous studies have explored the trends and short-term outcomes in TIPS procedures. This study aims to further compare short-term in-hospital outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease when undergoing TIPS. Methods: This […]

Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has demonstrated a range of presentations and outcomes affecting multiple organ systems. Acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and related outcomes vary widely according to early reports. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of AKI, AKI in the setting of chronic kidney disease […]

Background: Researchers across the globe have continued their effort in identifying important risk factors for severe COVID-19 infection. Patient demographics including age, race, gender, and certain chronic medical conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure have been identified as the important risk factors for severity. To simply the risk stratification process, the CHA2DS2-VASc […]

Background: An estimated 580,000 individuals were experiencing homelessness during the most recent national point-in-time count. Dialysis requires substantial patient engagement, and not having secure housing impedes medical care and could increase acute care utilization. The prevalence of homelessness and its impact on hospitalizations among patients with ESKD are unknown. This retrospective cohort study examined differences […]

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are associated with central vein stenosis and failure to establish a functioning arteriovenous fistula. Thus, guidelines recommend avoiding PICC placement when patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are likely to require hemodialysis. We sought to describe the current practice of PICC placement in hospitalized patients with an estimated glomerular […]

Background: Recent work by the authors showed that over half of the incidences of hypoglycemia in hospitalized diabetics involved patients with CKD, and that 18% of patients with diabetes and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) had a hypoglycemic episode while hospitalized. The importance of reducing inpatient hypoglycemia is reflected in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid […]

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients is linked to adverse outcomes. Presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in these patients has been shown to be an independent risk factor. Outcomes of patients with AKI on CKD have not been well-examined. This study is a retrospective analysis of outcomes in hospitalized patients with AKI […]

Background: Therapeutic paracentesis is a common procedure performed to relieve symptoms of ascites most commonly from cirrhosis, heart failure or malignancy. Previous studies have shown that acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after paracentesis and portends a poor prognosis, although these studies have excluded patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Experiences in our hospital […]

Case Presentation: This is a case of a 73-year-old male with a history of CKD stage 4 and left total knee arthroplasty in 2006, who had a recent hospital admission for left knee septic arthritis with left knee prosthesis removal and placement of an antibiotic spacer. Joint fluid cultures grew Serratia marcescens, and the patient […]
