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.

Abstract Chronic volume overload is a major risk factor of hypertension and mortality in chronic dialysis patients. However, the mechanisms responsible for hypertension are unclear. We studied 32 patients (age 23–68 years, 19 females) in chronic hemodiafiltration classified by their interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure (idABP, mmHg) in three groups:

BackgroundChronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), a complication of chronic kidney disease, has been linked to reduced quality and length of life. High serum phosphate levels that result from CKD-MBD require phosphate-lowering agents,

High serum levels of gut-derived uremic toxins, especially p-cresyl sulfate (pCS), indoxyl sulfate (IS) and indole acetic acid (IAA), have been linked to adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Gut microbial metabolism is not only an important source of uremic toxins but may also help to maintain the vitamin K stores of the host. We hypothesized that sevelamer therapy, a commonly used phosphate binder in patients with end-stage kidney disease ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Data science approaches have been increasingly implemented in healthcare big data to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drugs. Association discovery is a data mining approach that finds potentially associated elements in high‐dimensional data. We present a novel implementation of the association discovery approach in longitudinal healthcare data ...

A Perfect Storm in Mineral Handling
Introduction One of the commonest complications of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is the disruption of normal mineral trafficking, with a major perturbation in the handling of calcium and phosphate. Background Here, we report a patient who presented some time ago along with his imaging, with some of the worst sequelae of these issues.
