Prognostic role of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with chronic kidney disease
Jin Kim, Su Hyun Song, Tae Ryom Oh, Sang Heon Suh, Hong Sang Choi, Chang Seong Kim, Seong Kwon Ma, Soo Wan Kim, Eun Hui Bae
Korean J Intern Med. 2023;38(5):725-733. Published online August 17, 2023
Background/Aims: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has a prognostic value in cardiovascular disease, infection, inflammatory disease, and several malignancies. Therefore, the NLR has a possible predictive value in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but this predictive value has not b..

Glomerular filtration rate as a kidney outcome of diabetic kidney disease: a focus on new antidiabetic drugs
Hyo Jin Kim, Sang Soo Kim, Sang Heon Song
Korean J Intern Med. 2022;37(3):502-519. Published online April 4, 2022
Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions, both in Korea and worldwide and is associated with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure (KF). The natural course of kidney function among people with diabetes (especially type 2 diabetes) may be complex in real-world situations. St..

Prevalence of chronic kidney disease defined by using CKD-EPI equation and albumin-to-creatinine ratio in the Korean adult population
Eunhee Ji, Yon Su Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2016;31(6):1120-1130. Published online March 25, 2016
Background/Aims: An updated chronic kidney disease (CKD) definition and classification were proposed by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), with adoption of a new equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria to evaluate kidney structural damage. This study was..

Glomerular filtration rate affects interpretation of pulmonary function test in a Korean general population: results from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010 to 2012
Young Soo Kim, Hee Yeon Kim, Hyo-Suk Ahn, Tae Seo Sohn, Jae Yen Song, Young Bok Lee, Dong-Hee Lee, Jae-Im Lee, Tae-Kyu Lee, Seong Cheol Jeong, Mihee Hong, Hiun Suk Chae, Kyungdo Han, Chang Dong Yeo
Korean J Intern Med. 2016;31(6):1101-1109. Published online March 21, 2016
Background/Aims: The pulmonary abnormalities (principally restrictive abnormalities) are characteristic of renal transplant recipients or those with end-stage renal disease. Our aim was to explore whether the prevalence of spirometric abnormalities was influenced by the estimated glomerular filtrati..

Validation of the Korean coefficient for the modification of diet in renal disease study equation
Yun Jung Oh, Ran-hui Cha, Seung Hwan Lee, Kyung Sang Yu, Satbyul Estella Kim, Ho Kim, Yon Su Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2016;31(2):344-356. Published online January 13, 2016
Background/Aims: Race and ethnicity are important determinants when estimating
glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The Korean coefficients for the isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equations were developed in 2010. However, the coefficients h..
