In secret, hidden from occupying German forces, Willem Kolff developed the first dialysis machine to save patients from kidney failure. After the war, he brought his device to the United States and made a career in artificial organ development.

The lessons learned from the experience with crush syndrome first observed in World War II and subsequently investigated over many decades form the basis for the creation of the Renal Disaster Relief Task Force of the International Society of Nephrology.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a type of long-term kidney disease, in which either there is a gradual loss of kidney function which occurs over a period of months to years, or an abnormal kidney structure (with normal function).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been redefined in the new millennium as any alteration of kidney morphology, function, blood, or urine composition lasting for at least 3 months. This broad definition also encompasses diseases or conditions that are associated with normal kidney function, such as a kidney scarring from an acute pyelonephritis ...

This study examined the consequences of nephrectomy in United States Army personnel who lost a kidney due to trauma during World War II (WWII). Records of 62 servicemen who underwent nephrectomy at an average age of 25 years were obtained.

We performed a study in the adult population of the US to quantify associations with the extent of CKD, enumerate temporal trends of CKD among those with prior MS, describe risk within subgroups, and compare heterogeneity of risk factors for CKD by MS.

2025年2月1日 · Our results demonstrate the increasing prevalence of CKD among people, living in war-affected region on 30.7% during 2 years. Taking all this results into consideration, with this project, we will be able to develop effective preventive measures for kidney function preservation during armed conflict.

2017年11月23日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by persistent urine abnormalities, structural abnormalities or impaired excretory renal function suggestive of a loss of functional nephrons. The majority of patients with CKD are at risk …

1979年9月1日 · Clinical and pathoanatomical investigations in Germany prove that coronary heart disease deaths between 1945 and 1948 were rare—a paucity of global statistics precludes adequate comparison with other countries. These data are supported by the study of the pathoanatomical protocols showing very few cases of accluding coronary sclerosis.

慢性肾脏病（CKD）分期是指根据肾小球滤过率（GFR）、内生肌酐清除率（Ccr）及血肌酐（Scr）水平等肾功能指标的不同对慢性肾脏病进行分期。 慢性肾脏病分期可了解患者慢性肾脏病所处阶段，从而确定防治目标并采取合理的治疗措施。
