Diabetic nephropathy

Newer therapy to stop the progression of diabetic nephropathy are imminent. A protein kinase C beta inhibitor, Ruboxistaurin, may be useful in arresting the progression of diabetic nephropathy and decreasing proteinuria. 71.104.222.228 18:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC) reply

Should this not go on diabetic nephropathy? JFW |  T@lk 23:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure. I'm thinking the new evidence implies damage is done due to a hyper reninaemic state potentiated by a nephrotic syndrome.. i.e DN causes greater damage by Hypertensive damage to kidney. Hence ESRD rather than hypoalbumineamia or whatever. In any case I'm not sure that the research for

hard endpoints like ESRD is back for ARBs and that should be taken out of the article until it is cited properly. Markjohndaley 18:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Should there be a Feline or Veterinary CRF entry?

I notice that there are links to Feline CRF websites on this page. Should there be a Veterinary entry or a Feline entry separate from this human-oriented one? Things would be very confusing if this entry started talking about Sub-Q and Azodyl, and it's confusing that this entry talks about blood pressure and kidney replacement as well as dialysis since those aren't usual options for cats.

My review of this article

I am a health student at University of Washington. I am reviewing this article according to the instructions at WP:HealthReview.

I suggest changing the article in the following ways: It's important for people to know about adminsitering ESAs I think that this article could be improved by adding this statement: Don’t administer erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with hemoglobin levels greater than or equal to 10 g/dL without symptoms of anemia. Administering ESAs to CKD patients with the goal of normalizing hemoglobin levels has no demonstrated survival or cardiovascular disease benefit, and may be harmful in comparison to a treatment regimen that delays ESA administration or sets relatively conservative targets (9–11 g/dL). ESAs should be prescribed to maintain hemoglobin at the lowest level that both minimizes transfusions and best meets individual patient needs.

This reference supports the above statement: http://choosingwisely.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/5things_12_factsheet_Amer_Soc_Neph.pdf

"CKDu" and "Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown origin" are common phrases in media and should be created as redirects to pertinent respective articles (here?). There is also some fairly recent coverage of what I believe is referring to Mesoamerican nephropathy: see the newly created stub Creatinina for sources. I don't think the popular sources in Creatinina explicitly use "Mesoamerican nephropathy", but since CKDu is more general than MeN, I've created Central American CKDu as a redirect, and Creatinina should follow. Please, someone with more knowledge and insight then I help create more redirects to help laypeople quickly find information. Thanks. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 05:16, 13 June 2014 (UTC) reply

How do we know that Chronic Kidney Disease exists?

I would like this article to cite some sources to explain how we know that Chronic Kidney Disease even exists as a disease entity, as it is described in the article. For instance, how do we know that the primary purpose of the kidneys is to remove toxins from the blood? How do we know that the presence of, say, high creatinine levels in a patient is indicative of kidney dysfunction and isn't a result of the body trying to accomplish some unrelated purpose? If we could demonstrate that manually removing these substances from the blood improved patient survival, then that would at least show that we're on the right track in assuming them to be in excess, but as far as I can see all the randomized trials on hemodialysis show a flat dose-response curve, survival-wise. Now, apparently the view of kidneys in Chinese medicine is quite different from the Western view - which doesn't mean that the Western view is wrong, but it makes me curious where the Western view originates and what work is being done to document and validate its many assumptions. I don't see any citations in this article which would help me unravel this mystery. 2602:30A:2E9C:80B0:0:0:0:3E8 ( talk) 06:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC) reply
