CONCLUSION: Urinary NT-proBNP might help identify patients at risk for AKI and severe disease progression in COVID-19.

CONCLUSION: The COV50 classifier is predictive of death in the absence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting that it detects pre-existing vulnerability. This prediction is mainly based on collagen fragments, possibly reflecting disturbances in the

High blood pressure (BP) and type-2 diabetes (T2DM) are forerunners of chronic kidney disease and left ventricular dysfunction. Home BP telemonitoring (HTM) and urinary peptidomic profiling (UPP) are technologies enabling risk stratification and

Urine cultures (UCX) are frequently sent for diagnostic work-up of fevers, even when little else suggests there is a urinary tract infection (UTI). Yet, UCXs are very easily contaminated, often misleading caregivers. In normal hosts, it is very

Since February, 2023, the omicron variant has accounted for essentially all new coronavirus infections in Japan. If future infections involve mutant strains with the same level of infectivity and virulence as omicron, the government's basic policy

Patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have an increased risk of thrombosis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thrombosis is often attributed to increases in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and a shut-down of

CONCLUSIONS: Based on an updated analysis of available data, the prevalence of urologic complications following administration of COVID-19 vaccines is low. However, specific urologic complications such as gross hematuria are not low in incidence.

CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that UDCA administration does not reduce susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children with liver disease.
