Objective sleep, a novel risk factor for alterations in kidney function: the CARDIA study.
The investigators determined the association between objectively measured sleep and 10-year changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate. They found that, in this community-based sample, shorter sleep and poorer sleep quality were related to higher kidney filtration rates over 10 years.
AHRQ-funded; HS013852.

Meta-analysis of the effect of automated contrast injection devices versus manual injection and contrast volume on risk of contrast-induced nephropathy.
The researchers conducted a meta-analysis examining the currently published evidence on the reduction of contrast volume and the possible reduction of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) with the use of automated contrast injectors (ACIs) versus manual injection. They found that the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was significantly reduced by 15% for those using ACIs compared with manual injection.
