Predictive value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio on acute kidney injury after on-pump coronary artery bypass: a retrospective, single-center study

Zhang Guangqing et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on acute kidney injury (AKI) after on-pump coronary artery bypass (ONCAB). The results showed that elevated preoperative NLR is associated with AKI after ONCAB, and had prognostic utility independent of other recognized risk factors.

Calcification of the abdominal aorta is an under-appreciated cardiovascular disease risk factor in the general population

Anurag Sethi et al.

Summary: Calcification of large arteries is a common but under-diagnosed pathology with high cardiovascular risk. Machine learning methods were used to quantify the levels of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in a UK Biobank imaging cohort. Genetic association studies identified novel loci associated with AAC and replicated previously reported associations. AAC was found to be highly prevalent and predictive of future cardiovascular events.

Inflammation and atherosclerosis: signaling pathways and therapeutic intervention

Peng Kong et al.

Summary: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease that can be promoted or inhibited by innate and adaptive immune responses. Several signaling pathways associated with the inflammatory response have been found to play important roles in the development and regression of atherosclerosis. Targeting inflammatory pathways may represent a new approach for the treatment of atherosclerotic diseases.

Association of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and risk of cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease: a meta-analysis

Guangyu Ao et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests that a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Specifically, CKD patients on dialysis with high NLR are at a higher risk of mortality, indicating the need for early interventions. More large-scale and rigorously designed studies are needed to confirm the prognostic value of NLR in different stages of CKD.

Summary: The study showed that NLR could be a strong predictor of long-term outcome in PD patients, with higher NLR associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Lower NLR was predictive of higher survival rates.

Bone Quality in CKD Patients: Current Concepts and Future Directions - Part I

Kamyar Asadipooya et al.

Summary: Assessing bone quality and quantity in CKD patients is crucial for proper management, with new technologies like trabecular bone score and high-resolution imaging studies providing more accurate evaluations. Serum and urinary bone biomarkers are reflective of bone activities and predictive of fractures independently of BMD in CKD patients. Both noninvasive and invasive techniques are available for bone quality assessment.

Predictors of coronary artery calcification and its association with cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease

Xue-rong Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the predictors of coronary artery calcification (CAC) and its association with cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The results showed that age, diabetes mellitus, hyperphosphatemia, dialysis duration, and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio were associated with CAC, while higher MGP levels were protective against CAC. Moderate to severe CAC and lower MGP levels were associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events.
