Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Reduces Kidney Folate Transporter Expression and Plasma Folate Levels

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Acute or chronic kidney disease can cause micronutrient deficiency. Patients with end-stage renal disease, kidney transplantation or on dialysis have reduced circulating levels of folate, an essential B vitamin.
