Genetic differences can influence one's risk of developing proteinuria, a condition that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a new study. The results may be important for determining patients' health risks and for devising new medical treatments.

For patients with type two diabetes, a combination of two blood-pressure-lowering drugs reduces the risk of kidney disease by about twenty percent—even in patients who don't have high blood pressure, reports a study in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
Gene Mutation Increases Drug Toxicity, Rejection Risk in Pediatric Kidney Transplants

Screening for mutations in a gene that helps the body metabolize a kidney transplant anti-rejection drug may predict which children are at higher risk for side effects, including compromised white blood cell count or organ rejection, according to new research.
Impaired Kidney Function Raises Risk of Heart Problems in the Elderly

A study published in the open access journal PLoS Medicine suggests that elderly people with damaged kidneys are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart failure and stroke, and other causes of mortality. The findings indicate that greater efforts should be made to encourage elderly people who have impaired kidney function alongside other risk factors—such as high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure, which are often a result of smoking and diet—to make lifestyle changes to avoid developing cardiovascular problems.

The author determined the rate and risk factors for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in consecutive patients discharged after a cardiac event in a large, unbiased Canadian cohort that receives universal health coverage.
RhoA/Rho-Kinase Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Renal Disease

This article tells us that high glucose activates RhoA/Rho-kinase in MCs, leading to downstream AP-1 activation and fibronectin induction. Inhibition of this pathway in vivo prevents the pathologic changes of diabetic nephropathy, supporting a potential role for inhibitors of RhoA/Rho in the treatment of diabetic renal disease.
New Combo Treatment Extends Kidney Cancer Survival

A combination treatment with two drugs, Avastin (bevacizumab) plus interferon, extends the life of patients with kidney cancer, European researchers report.
Immunology submitted, created time 2 years 3 months (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
BACKGROUND: The human 5T4 (h5T4) oncofoetal antigen is expressed by a wide variety of human carcinomas including colorectal, ovarian, gastric and renal, but rarely on normal tissues. Its restricted expression on tumour tissues as well as its association with tumour progression and bad prognosis has driven the development of a MVA-based vaccine (TroVax) which has been tested in several early phase clinical trials and these studies have led to the start of a phase III trial in renal cell carcinoma patients

Tests on 20 people who were deliberately deprived of sleep produced more urine at night, and it was saltier than usual, the researchers said. The effects were much stronger in men than in women.
