Kidney transplantation turns back the clock on renal aging

This recent study in the Journal of Internal Medicine reveals that kidney transplantation mitigates the effects of renal aging in chronic kidney disease patients, outperforming dialysis. The research utilized DNA methylation clocks to assess biological age, finding that age acceleration decreased one year post-transplant but remained unchanged with dialysis.

Early initiation of dapagliflozin in acute decompensated heart failure does not improve diuretic efficiency

Early initiation of the sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin did not result in a statistically significant improvement in diuretic efficiency relative to structured usual care in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.
