High risk patients are encouraged to take #uACR tests annually. According to a study by Dr. Betts and team on #kidney#screening and related health care costs across states in #USA on #CKD and #T2D patients, only 20.3% were sufficiently screened. https://t.co/qpTLGE7wDa

Dr. Hu and team studies the potential of perirenal fat as an indicator of #DKD risk and progression in #T2D patients using #uACR values. The findings are available on International Journal of Endocrinology published by @Hindawi. https://t.co/yurvMWMu8E

Early diagnosis is key to optimise treatment. Dr. Marques and team investigates the underdiagnosis of #CKD and #DKD in #T2D patients in a hospital setting. The findings published on @CKJsocial suggests a high hidden prevalence of CKD and DKD

Quality sleep is essential for optimising health. Findings from Dr. Geng and team's study available on @MayoProceedings suggests that compliance with a healthy sleep pattern is linked to reduced #CKD risk.

Consumption behaviours may modify risk of disease. Dr. Lin and team published a study on @Nutrients_MDPI which evaluates relationship between intake of dietary fish and unsataturated fatty acid and risk of diabetic nephropathy in diabetic patients. https://t.co/fvMGomVUOr

Lifestyle choices are closely related to one's health. Dr. รstergaard and team's research published on @EJCI_News studies the change in kidney function of #CVD patients according to their lifestyle changes. https://t.co/7hdudNc1v6

Enjoy the convenience and taste of ultraprocessed food? You may be inconveniencing your health. Dr. Du and team's study available on @AJKDonline examines the links between consumption of ultraprocessed food and #CKD risk. https://t.co/y3lZdPzCbr

Health and our consumption behaviours are inextricably linked. Professor Ko and team examines the implications of high protein diets on kidney health in an article published on @JASN_News. https://t.co/PqzvNlVBLC

A study conducted by Dr. Su and team published on Journal of Diabetes Investigation (official journal of #AASD) finds a close relationship between #uACR values and metabolic score for insulin resistance.

A research conducted by Dr. Scheppach and team available on @AJKDonline suggests that lower kidney function measured in terms of #uACR and #eGFR is linked to structural brain damage shown on MRI scans.https://t.co/kITvO6iaMf

A recent article by Dr. Tobe on @JAHA_AHA
highlights that elevation in #uACR values even within the normal range of <30mg/g is associated with increased #CVD and all cause mortality risk across populations including young adults. https://t.co/JKsBHIAQDP

Dr. Tang, Dr. Han and team discovers a positive relationship between #CKD and functional #brain disorders in a meta-analysis review. Elevated #uACR was also found to increase risk of vascular #dementia and #Alzheimer's disease. https://t.co/lE50cn5DYp
#kidneys#ageing#patients
While most #uACR related studies examine high risk or elderly populations, a recent study released on @JAHA_AHA by Dr. Choi and team suggests that #uACR is a relevant biomarker for predicting #CKD, #CVD and mortality risk in young to middle-aged adults. https://t.co/zuCz7DVFZt
An article published on @NEJM highlighted that a high incidence of #CKD persists in the United States depsite previous declines. CKD risk factors abound and can be mitigated with better health planning and lifestyle adjustments.
