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 ...
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 ...
Renal transplantation does not stop or reverse coronary artery calcification (CAC), according to researchers. In a study that included 150 renal transplant recipients, CAC prevalence increased from 35 ...
Patients who form calcium kidney stones are more likely to have higher abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) and lower vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) scores than those who do not develop kidney ...
Restoring ABCC6 function or enhancing its expression offers a new and compelling therapeutic strategy to prevent the progression of CKD towards end-stage renal disease in addition to reducing large ...
The ionic and metabolic impairment observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to vascular calcification, which can induce cardiovascular events and mortality. Several factors may impact the ...
Calcium deposits can form in different parts of the body, including the arteries, joints, and skin. Eating foods high in potassium, like bananas and avocados, may help reduce calcium buildup in ...
Potent, selective ABCC6-targeting positive functional modulator (PFM) improved multiple markers of renal function in animal models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) PFM improved inorganic pyrophosphate ...
