“…Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) have become a global public health issue, affecting more than 200 million people worldwide [ 117 ]. Chronic kidney disease is a common term used to describe different disorders that permanently affect the structure and function of the kidneys for over a period of 3 months [ 118 ]. This can be diagnosed when the abnormalities in the kidney or glomerular filtration rate are lower than 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 and albuminuria is characterised by an albumin to creatinine ratio above 30 mg/g [ 119 ].…”

Lycopene is a naturally occurring carotenoid predominantly found in tomatoes and tomato‐based products. Like other phytochemicals, it exhibits health beneficial biological activities that can be exploited when it is used as a dietary supplement. In vitro and in vivo, lycopene has been demonstrated to mitigate oxidative stress‐induced metabolic dysfunctions and diseases including inflammation, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. Lycopene has been shown to alleviate metabolic diseases that affect the bone, eye, kidney, liver, lungs, heart, and nervous system. This review presents the state of the art regarding lycopene’s health benefits and its potential applications in health system delivery. Furthermore, lycopene’s protective effects against toxins, safety in its use, and possible toxicity are explored.

“…Ten years later, the RENA study demonstrated a global CKD prevalence in Portugal of 20.9%, this time considering stages 1 to 5, with the highest prevalence found in the central region of Portugal (25%) and the lowest (12%) in Madeira Island [ 8 ]. More recently, a study in the north region of Portugal estimated a CKD prevalence (stages 1 to 5) of 9.8% [ 9 ]. In fact, there is an irregular distribution of CKD prevalence in Portugal, but there are also significant differences across these studies that might make comparisons difficult, as mentioned in Table 1 .…”

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an ever-growing global public health problem affecting more than 10% of the general population worldwide. CKD is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, representing a major burden to the healthcare system. Although multiple studies have determined CKD prevalence in different countries, there is still a significant knowledge gap between epidemiological surveys and real data recorded by healthcare providers. Regarding the Portuguese population, most recent studies revealed a CKD prevalence of 20.9%. However, there is an irregular distribution of CKD prevalence in the country. For example, considering the Madeiran population, a non-published review of lab results of nearly 130,000 patients in our database allowed us an estimation of 20%. Thus, to better comprehend CKD prevalence and its characterization in this region, we designed a study comprising previous studies’ strengths as well as aiming to overcome their limitations. The principal objective is to calculate global CKD prevalence in Madeira Island and stratify it by stage of CKD, allowing comparison of our results with recent literature on this subject. We intend to contribute with relevant epidemiological data in the characterization of CKD prevalence in Portugal and, simultaneously, have a more active role in CKD prevention and allocation of resources.

Background and purpose: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common chronic disease usually associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and premature death and millions of people are at increased risk for CKD. As this disease is extremely complex, multidisciplinary care (MDC) is needed to provide complete and continuous care. Usually, the nephrology units need coopera-tion from several other Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) such as cardiologists, nutritionists, ob-stetricians, and so forth. All modalities of treatments, peritoneal dialysis (PD) and Hemodialysis (HD) require HCPs and patients to develop a variety of skills to effectively deliver and manage dialysis tasks in the center or at home. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in-terventions can offer tools that provide HCPs and patients with tools that facilitate the manage-ment of kidney patients in centers or at home. ICT interventions can allow to automate registra-tions, videoconferencing, minimize the geographic burden and resource cost savings. ICT can be the best way to promote cost saving on health spending and ensure the sustainability of the health system and, the environment as well. In the Iberian Peninsula, kidney patients consume about 3% of the total cost of healthcare. The cost of kidney transplants and dialysis is around 1.8 billion euros annually, and 75 % of this amount goes to dialysis treatment. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the opinion of Healthcare Professionals (HCP) in Nephrology units about the Intervention of ICT in nephrology care and the Clinical benefits results from the use of ICT in Nephrology Services and dialysis Units in Portugal and Spain. Thus we collected the opinion of Health care professionals concerning the role of ICT intervention in nephrology. Understanding HCPs' feelings and attitudes is essential to understand if such technologies are correctly adjusted to the workflow and really bring huge benefits for the clinical practice of nephrology and also what features need improvement and what should be implemented in the future. ICT intervention has been implemented to promote better healthcare in nephrology units and improve patient outcomes. In the Survey, we intended to evaluate nephrology HCPs' opinions concerning the ICT interventions, in nephrology, represented by several tools that al-low the HCPs to implement solutions such as Remote Patient Monitoring(RPM); Remote Moni-toring of Treatment (RMT); Tele homecare; Telehealth (Tele-nephrology); Home Dialysis; mHealth; mobile App; Web Portal, Telemedicine, and so forth. Key Points: In many countries particularly in the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) the incidence of CKD is substantially high. The “treatments” for kidney disease have not improved substantially over the past 50 years, leaving too many kidney patients with a poor quality of life and reduced life expectancy. This situation is associated with staggering aggregate annual costs amounting to €140 billion per year in Europe, more than the annual healthcare costs of cancer or diabetes [1]. The increased daily use of information and communication technologies may lead to the need for healthcare professionals to incorporate technology use competencies into practice.
