Kidney disease

Last edited: 4/23/2026

Overview

Kidney disease encompasses a spectrum of conditions affecting kidney function, including acute and chronic forms, with significant implications for global health, particularly in the context of diabetes, transplantation, and environmental sustainability. 7 49

Diagnosis

Clinical Presentation: Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, changes in urination patterns, and hypertension. 7 20

Laboratory Tests: Elevated serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and proteinuria are key indicators. 7 20

Imaging: Ultrasound, CT, or MRI to assess kidney structure and size. 16 27

Renal Biopsy: Essential for definitive diagnosis of specific kidney diseases, especially in complex cases. 16 22

Genetic Testing: Recommended for suspected hereditary kidney diseases like ADTKD. 39 62

Management

Dietary Management: Sodium restriction in children with kidney diseases to manage electrolyte imbalances. 2

Pharmacotherapy:

- SGLT2 Inhibitors and GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: Reduce cardiovascular risk and slow kidney function decline in transplant recipients. 22 - Finerenone: Mentioned for its potential benefits in DKD management, though specific dosing not detailed. 30

Transplantation Care:

- Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP): Enhances graft viability and function post-transplant. 27 42 - Intraoperative Heparin: Balancing efficacy against bleeding risk in transplant surgery. 29

AI and Technology: Utilize AI for predictive analytics and improving patient triage and outcomes. 5 8 66

Special Populations

Pediatrics:

- Dietary Sodium Management: Specific guidelines for sodium balance in children with kidney diseases. 2 - Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA): Impact on neonatal kidney health requires careful monitoring. 33

Elderly: Increased risk of cardiovascular complications post-transplant; tailored cardiovascular evaluation crucial. 28

Comorbidities:

- Diabetes: Management focuses on glycemic control and use of novel agents like SGLT2 inhibitors. 7 30 - Hypertension: Family history significantly impacts DKD progression; aggressive blood pressure control recommended. 19

Key Recommendations

Implement sodium restriction diets for children with kidney diseases to manage electrolyte imbalances effectively. (Evidence: Strong 2)

Utilize normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for donor kidneys to enhance graft viability and function post-transplantation. (Evidence: Moderate 27)

Incorporate SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists in the management of kidney transplant recipients to mitigate cardiovascular risks and slow disease progression. (Evidence: Moderate 22)

Employ artificial intelligence tools for predictive analytics and patient triage to improve clinical outcomes in kidney care. (Evidence: Moderate 5 8)

Conduct thorough cardiovascular evaluations, especially in elderly transplant candidates, to address heightened CVD risks. (Evidence: Expert opinion 28)
