Abstract With progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), disorders of mineral metabolism appear. The classic sequence of events begins with a deficit of calcitriol synthesis and retention of phosphorus. As a result of this, serum calcium decreases and parathyroid hormone (PTH) is stimulated, producing in the bone the high turnover (HT) bone disease known asContinue reading “Changes in mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease, an ebook”

Running, Cathepsin B from muscles, memory and cancer
Recent study suggests that running is good for the memory because scientist measured the presence of Cathepsin B. Cathepsin B is produced in muscle tissue during metabolism. It is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and is associated with neurogenesis, specifically in the mouse dentate gyrus. And more… During chronic kidney disease (CKD) there isContinue reading “Running, Cathepsin B from muscles, memory and cancer”
Gut bacteria linked to chronic disease
Cleveland Clinic researchers have, for the first time, linked trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) — a gut metabolite formed during the digestion of egg-, red meat- or dairy-derived nutrients choline and carnitine — to chronic kidney disease. TMAO has been linked to heart disease already, with blood levels shown to be a powerful tool for predicting futureContinue reading “Gut bacteria linked to chronic disease”
Kidney disease, an underestimated killer
By Jane Brody Kidney disease doesn’t get the attention, funding or concern associated with cancers of the breast or prostate. But it actually kills more Americans — 90,000 a year — than both malignancies combined. Even when it is not fatal, the cost of treating end-stage kidney disease through dialysis or a kidney transplant isContinue reading “Kidney disease, an underestimated killer”
