If chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an impairment of kidney function, several uremic solutes are retained. Some of these exert toxic effects, which are called uremic toxins.

Cardiovascular problems in dialysis patients - focus on correcting hyperphosphatemia
Mineral-bone disorder in chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) is one of the most important factor determining prognosis in dialysis patients. CKD-MBD syndrome occurs at the CKD stage 2 and reaches its maximum in patients with end-stage renal disease ...

Mechanism of Action and Clinical Attributes of Auryxia® (Ferric Citrate). [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of morbidity and premature mortality and represents a significant global public health issue. Underlying this burden are the many complications of CKD, including mineral and bone disorders, anemia, and ...

Construction of Chronic Kidney Disease Mouse Model Induced by Diets With Different Adenine Content
By administering a 4 weeks adenine diet to C57BL/6J mice, we identified 0.2% adenine in purified feed as the optimal chronic kidney disease model. This model induces severe renal damage, gut dysbiosis, uremic toxin accumulation, and CKD mineral bone disorder, providing a clinically relevant platform for mechanistic and therapeutic studies.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate is a poor predictor of the concentration of middle molecular weight uremic solutes in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Background: Uremic solute concentration increases as Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) declines. Weak associations were demonstrated between estimated GFR (eGFR) and the concentrations of several small water-soluble and protein-bound uremic solutes ...

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Transient Pseudohypoparathyroidism as a Cause of Late-onset Hypocalcemia in Neonates and Infants
Transient pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare cause of late-onset hypocalcemia in neonates and infants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical presentation and natural course of transient pseudohypoparathyroidism in neonates and infants.

Adverse effects of simulated hyper- and hypo-phosphatemia on endothelial cell function and viability. [PDF]
Dysregulation of phosphate homeostasis as occurs in chronic kidney disease is associated with cardiovascular complications. It has been suggested that both hyperphosphatemia and hypophosphatemia can cause cardiovascular disease.
