(American Society of Nephrology) African-Americans are four times more likely to develop kidney failure than whites.

A new study has found that a condition that occurs when the kidneys are damaged and spill protein into the urine contributes to this increased risk.

A diet high in fat and low in carbohydrate can repair damaged kidneys in diabetic mice, according to US scientists.

Bravo Farms is voluntarily recalling all Dutch Style Gouda because it may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

E. coli O157:H7 causes diarrhea illness often with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure.

Young children and the elderly are most susceptible to serious complications and even death.

Genetic Edge Technologies of Phoenix, Arizona is voluntarily recalling 60 count bottles of ArimaDex, because it may contain an Aromatase Inhibitor.

Genetic Edge Technologies has been informed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that potential adverse events associated with the use of Aromatase Inhibitors could include the following: decreased rate of bone maturation and growth, decreased sperm production, infertility, aggressive behavior, adrenal insufficiency, kidney failure, and liver dysfunction.

(American Society of Nephrology) Chronic kidney disease (CKD) afflicts a large number of younger minority adults receiving medical care in settings that serve the uninsured and under-insured (settings collectively known as the health care safety net).

Poor, minority adults with moderate to severe CKD are also two to four times more likely to progress to kidney failure than non-Hispanic whites.

These are the findings from a study published online in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Episodes of food poisoning may have more serious long-term consequences (MedPage Today) -- including kidney failure or mental retardation -- particularly among children, researchers say.
