Slayman received his first kidney transplant in 2018 from a human donor. The donor kidney initially functioned well, but Slayman started to go into kidney failure after years of living with diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease, which can eventually result in kidney failure.He had no choice but to go on dialysis, a treatment that removes excess fluid and waste from a person’s blood. But the dialysis caused complications—his blood vessels were clotting and failing. Slayman wound up in the hospital…

Researchers have identified a novel inhibitor drug that, when given to mice, prevented both eye and kidney complications commonly seen in diabetics. With the potential for one medication to treat two complications, further research is being done to advance the drug to clinical trials.Even when it’s well managed, diabetes can lead to complications that affect the body’s small blood vessels or microvasculature. Two of the most common microvascular complications are diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of vision loss…

3D eye scans, specifically of the retina, could significantly aid in detecting and monitoring kidney disease, a study finds. This non-invasive method using optical coherence tomography shows promise in identifying kidney function through retinal changes, offering potential for early diagnosis and aiding in drug development. A new study indicates that 3D retinal scans could revolutionize the early detection and monitoring of kidney disease, offering a non-invasive and efficient diagnostic tool. 3D eye scans can reveal…
