Blood vessel calcification may put people who develop recurrent kidney stones at increased risk of heart disease, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the ...
Appropriate imaging can help identify patients who need intensive medical treatment. Calcification in the cardiac valves and aorta portends worse survival and progresses faster in patients with ...
Although tissue calcification depends on a pre-existing injury, the continuation of this process is due to modulators and/or crystallization inhibitors deficiency. Since calculus morphology and the ...
In the hemodialysis population, cardiovascular calcifications result from excess phosphate and calcium, as well as reduced activity of inhibitors of calcification, such as matrix Gla protein. Vitamin ...
In 17 patients followed for an average of 18 months after renal homotransplantation, mean phosphate clearance was 18 ml per minute, tubular reabsorption of phosphate 60 per cent, and creatinine ...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition marked by declining renal function, which predisposes patients to systemic metabolic imbalances. A prominent complication in CKD is vascular ...
Patients undergoing hemodialysis have a lower survival rate than those who receive a kidney transplant. Mortality among hemodialysis patients is approximately 14.5% compared with 1.5% for transplant ...
A 43-year-old black male presented to his primary care physician with growing nonpainful masses on his right hand and elbow during the previous several months. Approximately 4 months before this ...
Renal Tubular Acidosis and Renal Potassium Wasting Acquired as a Result of Hypercalcemic Nephropathy
THE earliest lesions of certain types of experimental nephrocalcinosis involve the distal portions of the renal tubules and the collecting ducts. 1,2 Disturbances in renal tubular function might ...
Blood vessel calcification may put people who develop recurrent kidney stones at increased risk of heart disease, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the ...
People who develop recurrent kidney stones have more calcification in their arteries, which could explain their increased risk for heart disease. Kidney stone formers also have less dense bones, ...
