    Abstract Cystinuria, an autosomic recessive genetic disorder is an uncommon cause of nephrolithiasis characterized by an impairment of transport of cystine, ornithine, lysine, and arginine (COLA). Of these, only cystine is insoluble enough to cause stone formation. Although a classification exists that categorizes the disease depending on chromosomal mutation, this does not currently alter management which consists of increased fluid intake, urine alkalinization, reduced sodium intake and, if warranted, cystine-binding thiol drugs. Cystine stones are relatively resistant to fragmentation. Intrinsic characteristics on imaging may help in planning surgical treatment. Finally, advances in crystal growth inhibition are encouraging as they may provide a new tool to treat this condition which although uncommon, is treatable and has been associated with lower quality of life and renal function compared to other stone formers.

    Abstract Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common condition, especially among the critically ill, and confers a high mortality. The incidence of ARF is increasing. Efforts such as the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) are being undertaken to establish a consensus definition of ARF, and to distinguish between varying degrees of acute kidney injury that might confer a different prognosis. Data are emerging to allow comparison of the epidemiology of ARF across institutions internationally. There is ongoing recognition of the important interaction between ARF and chronic kidney disease and more information regarding recovery from ARF is available. Controversy exists regarding the optimal management of ARF. Recent publications emphasize the importance of timing and dose of renal replacement therapy rather than the modality of treatment (intermittent hemodialysis vs continuous therapies). These issues are explored in this review.

    Abstract Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common condition, especially among the critically ill, and confers a high mortality. Recent publications have highlighted changes in the epidemiology and improvement in mortality that was long thought to be static despite improvements in clinical care. The incidence of ARF is increasing. Efforts, such as the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative, are being undertaken to establish a consensus definition of ARF, and to distinguish between varying degrees of acute kidney injury. Data are emerging to allow comparison of the epidemiology of ARF across institutions internationally. There is ongoing recognition of the important interaction between ARF and chronic kidney disease. Two brief case reports are offered to help frame the context and clinical impact of this disorder, followed by a review of some of the recent literature that addresses these points.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To characterize the mechanism and clinical impact of the angiotensin-receptor blocker losartan on both renal uric acid handling and thereby serum uric acid.
    Recent findings: Losartan effect on serum uric acid has been demonstrated at various stages of renal failure including most recently observations obtained in end-stage renal disease patients. Other angiotensin-receptor blockers do not alter renal handling of uric acid. The uricosuria, which accompanies losartan administration, has not been associated with adverse renal consequences, in part, because of the increase in urinary pH that follows its administration.
    Summary: Hyperuricemia is closely linked to both hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The development of hyperuricemia and its persistence are clearly renal processes. Likewise, the correction of hyperuricemia is often accomplished by increasing its renal excretion. A number of medications, by way of varying mechanisms, can alter renal urate handling and thereby influence serum uric acid values. Most recently, the angiotensin-receptor blocker losartan has been shown to reduce serum uric acid. The mechanism of this process relates to losartan alone and does not involve the E-3174 metabolite of this compound. This probenecid-like effect of losartan occurs shortly after drug administration, and is both transient and dose-dependent. This property of losartan, touted by some as a meaningful pharmacological distinction among the angiotensin-receptor blockers, remains to be proved, since, to date, the hypothesis that a reduction in serum uric acid alters the natural history of cardiovascular disease has not been formally tested.

    Abstract In 2003, the Nephrology Section at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center embraced a new concept for providing care that included a continuing care manager and a nephrologist working together with the patient to introduce stage-based education and clinical interventions. This study compares the outcomes of patients initiating hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis who received CKD care using a multidisciplinary care model (n = 89) with those who received traditional nephrology care (n = 82). Overall, the findings in this study support the use of the multidisciplinary clinic as a method for improving care of the patient with CKD initiating dialysis, and reducing hospital admissions and costs. The care coordination provided in the multidisciplinary setting improved the number of fistulas placed (60.7% vs. 21%, p < 0.001), the number of fistulas used for dialysis initiation (40.4% vs. 12.3, p < 0.001), and the management of anemia with higher hemoglobin levels prior to dialysis initiation (10.9 g/dL vs. 10.0 g/dL, p = 0.003). Patients receiving multidisciplinary care were 42% less likely to be admitted to the hospital for dialysis initiation, had significantly fewer days hospitalized (p = 0.001), fewer admissions (p = 0.005), and reduced charges for a 90-day period (p = 0.003) after dialysis initiation.
