Inflammation leads to functional iron deficiency, by increasing the expression of hepatic regulatory peptide, hepcidin. also stimulates fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) production both Fgf23 transcription and FGF23 cleavage, which paradoxically excess in C-terminal peptides (Cter-FGF23), rather than intact hormone (iFGF23). We determined that major source Cter-FGF23 are osteocytes investigated whether play a direct role regulation hepcidin metabolism response acute inflammation. Mice...

While patients receiving dialysis therapy in the United States are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) than those Japan, direct comparisons of with predialysis chronic kidney (CKD) rare. To study this, we compared various outcomes CKD using data from Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) and Japan (CKD-JAC) studies determined mediators any differences. Candidate included left ventricular (LV) indices assessed by echocardiography. Among 3125 CRIC 1097 CKD-JAC participants,...

Patients with CKD are at high risk for cardiovascular disease, ESKD, and mortality. Vascular calcification is one pathway through which disease risks increased. We hypothesized that a novel measure of serum propensity associated events, all-cause mortality among patients stages 2-4.Among 3404 participants from the prospective, longitudinal Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study, we quantified as transformation time (T50) primary to secondary calciprotein particles, lower T50 corresponding...

Abstract Background and Aims Incident heart failure (HF) among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) incurs hospitalizations that burden patients health care systems. There are few preventative therapies, the Pooled Cohort equations to Prevent Heart Failure (PCP-HF) perform poorly in setting of CKD. New drug targets better risk stratification urgently needed. Methods In this analysis incident HF, SomaScan V4.0 (4638 proteins) was analysed 2906 participants Chronic Renal Insufficiency...

Background Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a cell-surface protein that facilitates inflammation through leucocyte adhesion. Approximately 35% of Black individuals carry at least one copy an ICAM1 missense variant (rs5491; p.K56M), which has been associated with increased risk heart failure (HF) preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Whether the HFpEF conferred by rs5491 extends to chronic kidney disease (CKD), cohort high for HF, unknown. Aims We investigated association between...

ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular (ASCVD) risk, especially among those diabetes. Altered metabolism of solutes that accumulate in CKD [asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), symmetric (SDMA) and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)] may reflect pathways linking ASCVD.

Background: Although FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor 23) is associated with heart failure and atrial fibrillation, the mechanisms driving these associations are unclear. Sensitive measures of cardiovascular structure function may provide mechanistic insight behind various diseases. Methods: In MESA (the Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis), we evaluated baseline serum (2000–2002) left ventricular (LV) mechanical on cardiac magnetic resonance at 10-year follow-up (2010–2012). Results: Of 2276...

Periodontal disease is one of the major causes alveolar bone loss. There are various ways regenerating lost bone, i.e. guided tissue regeneration, grafts, and growth factors. In this purview, it becomes immensely important for a clinician to decide best modality treatment. study, we compared effect demineralized freeze-dried allograft (DFDBA) in combination with concentrated factors (CGF) verses CGF alone.
