Validation of the Klinrisk chronic kidney disease progression model in the FIDELITY population
­The authors’ findings demonstrate the accuracy and utility of a laboratory-based prediction model for early identification of patients at the highest risk of CKD progression.

Ionized and total magnesium levels in patients with chronic kidney disease: associated factors and outcomes
This analysis of a large cohort of patients with moderate-to-advanced CKD demonstrated that individuals with higher serum tMg concentrations, although still within the normal range, had a greater likelihood of MACE and mortality. However, serum iMg levels were not associated with these outcomes.

Baxter Physioneal, Extraneal, Nutrineal (PEN) and Dianeal solution bags can be accidentally connected to Fresenius peritoneal dialysis catheter extensions in a non-sterile manner
­The authors suggest that specifically older persons doing PD and those who do not perform PD by themselves (assisted PD) may be at increased risk of misconnecting the two companies’ PD systems.
