Aluminum an Uremic Toxin

1987
Aluminum has historically been regarded as non essential, since up to now no physiological function could be ascribed to it. Environmental exposure to aluminum is virtually universal as aluminum constitutes a substantial part of the earth’s crust (8%) and is found in food, medicine and cosmetics.

Uremic Toxins and Oral Adsorbents

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2011
AbstractUremic toxins are associated with various disorders in patients with end‐stage renal disease and it is difficult to remove some of these toxins by dialysis. Since some uremic toxins are generated by bacterial metabolites in the colon, oral adsorbents that interfere with the absorption of uremic toxins or their precursors are believed to prevent

Uremic toxin and bone metabolism

Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, 2006
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) develop various kinds of abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism, widely known as renal osteodystrophy (ROD). Although the pathogenesis of ESRD may be similar in many patients, the response of the bone varies widely, ranging from high to low turnover.

Adipokines as Uremic Toxins

Journal of Renal Nutrition, 2012
The adipose tissue has pleiotropic functions far beyond the mere storage of energy, and it secretes a number of hormones and cytokines, called adipokines, which have biological effects that impact heath and disease. Adipokines are markedly elevated in the plasma of uremic patients, mainly due to decreased renal excretion.

PROGRESS IN UREMIC TOXIN RESEARCH: Parathyroid Hormone, A Uremic Toxin

Seminars in Dialysis, 2009
AbstractDespite the innovations in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism, there are uremic patients with marked elevation in PTH levels. Uremic toxicity is in part attributable to the excess of circulating PTH. It has been known for many years that PTH may induce changes in cell calcium, a key intracellular signal required for normal cell ...

Low water-soluble uremic toxins

Advances in Renal Replacement Therapy, 2003
The uremic syndrome is the result of the retention of solutes, which under normal conditions are cleared by the healthy kidneys. Uremic retention products are arbitrarily subdivided according to their molecular weight. Low-molecular-weight molecules are characterized by a molecular weight below 500 D. The purpose of the present publication is to review

[Uremic toxins].

Nephrologie, 1997
Uremic toxins are compounds which exert biological action and which are retained in the body of patients with renal failure, whereas they normally should be excreted by the healthy kidneys into the urine. Only few retention solutes conform with the strict definition of uremic toxins.

PROGRESS IN UREMIC TOXIN RESEARCH: Uremic Toxins in Acute Kidney Injury

Seminars in Dialysis, 2009
AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious and frequent condition which may fully resolve but is associated with markedly increased mortality. Mortality in AKI is caused by nonrenal, distant organ failure. Renal recovery from AKI is often not achieved on account of new injuries in the repair phase.

PROGRESS IN UREMIC TOXIN RESEARCH: Guanidino Compounds as Uremic (Neuro)Toxins

Seminars in Dialysis, 2009
AbstractNeurological and vascular impairment are important sources of morbidity in patients with renal failure. A portion of patients still suffers from uremic encephalopathy or other signs of nervous system impairment. Several reports demonstrate increased incidence of cardiac infarction and cerebrovascular accidents in chronic renal failure patients,

Phosphate Is a Uremic Toxin

Journal of Renal Nutrition, 2008
Hyperphosphatemia is one of the more prevalent metabolic disturbances in kidney failure. Phosphate can be considered a uremic toxin based on the accumulation of phosphate during chronic kidney disease, the effects of phosphate on biological systems, and the adverse effects of hyperphosphatemia. The renal clearance of phosphate is maintained until later
