An update on uremic toxins

International Urology and Nephrology, 2012
In the last decade, uremic toxicity as a potential cause for the excess of cardiovascular disease and mortality observed in chronic kidney disease gained more and more interest. This review focuses on uremic toxins with known cardiovascular effects and their removal. For protein-bound solutes, for example, indoxylsulfate and the conjugates of p-cresol,

Nondialyzable Uremic Toxins

Blood Purification, 2013
Nondialyzable uremic toxins can be defined as solutes producing adverse biological effects that consequently to peculiar physicochemical features (mainly their large size and hydrophobic character) cannot leave the blood stream through a dialysis membrane.

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.

A Perspective on Uremic Toxins

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1970
Even if we could invariably tell them from one another, error and its genesis are no less interesting than correct information, and indeed it is often by way of testable error that we arrive (should we be fortunate) at truth. I make no excuse, therefore, if I dwell for a moment on what may be called the fallacy of misplaced concreteness. I first became

The anglerfish and uremic toxins

The FASEB Journal, 2011
In 1960, Belding Scribner introduced hemodialysis as a treatment for chronic renal failure. Now, 50 years later, it has become quite clear that while some features of uremia (acidosis, hyperkalemia, neurologic abnormalities, and uremia-related bone disease) are corrected or improved by hemodialysis, several important features of chronic renal failure ...

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.

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
