BACKGROUND
Hyperphosphatemia, serum phosphorus ≥ 4.4 mg/dL, is associated with increased risk for chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have shown a weak association between dietary phosphorus intake and serum phosphorus concentrations. While much less common in the
Calciphylaxis or calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) is a fatal disease in dialysis patients due to calcification of cutaneous blood vessels. The pathogenesis has been attributed to elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH). However, recent studies evaluating vascular calcification in nondialysis patients
Metabolic and bone effects were investigated in growing (G, n = 45) and mature (M, n = 45) rats fed a high-fat/high-sucrose diet (HFS) isocaloric to the chow diet of controls (C, n = 30 per group). At week 19, a subset of 15 rats in each group (HFS or C, at both ages) was analyzed. Then one-half of
BACKGROUND
Hyperphosphatemia complicated by calcification of subcutaneous arteries and skin infarcts are very rarely reported in the absence of chronic renal failure (CRF). We describe identical lesions in an obese woman with sepsis. Hyperphosphatemia resulted from an unintended excess of phosphate
Obesity could affect associations between creatinine generation, estimated body surface area, and excretory burden, with effects on chronic kidney disease assessment. We therefore examined the impact of obesity on the performances of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the urine
The risk of cardiovascular disease is substantially high in hemodialysis patients. The risk factors for cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients include age, malnutrition, duration of dialysis, diabetes mellitus and hyperphosphatemia. However, it is not clear whether cardiovascular disease is
OBJECTIVE
The adverse effects of metabolic disorders in obesity have been extensively studied; however, the pathologic effects of hyperphosphatemia or phosphate toxicity in obesity have not been studied in similar depth and detail, chiefly because such an association is thought to be uncommon.
OBJECTIVE
Anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) have differential associations with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mortality. We examined the associations of BMI and WC with various CKD complications.
METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate frequency and risk factors of development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) of the heart in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) of stage II-IV.
METHODS
The trial enrolled 83 patients (42 - 51% males, 41 - 49% females, mean age 46.7 years) with stage II-IV CKD of
OBJECTIVE
Kidney transplant recipients present with treatable complications related to chronic kidney disease, similarly to predialysis patients. The role of multidisciplinary clinics in the management of these complications in kidney transplant recipients is not fully understood. The objective of
In two independent and separate studies, we have shown that renal injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD) directly inhibit skeletal anabolism, and that stimulation of bone formation decreased the serum phosphate. In the first study, the serum Ca PO(4), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitriol were
We presented a case of a 22-year-old woman with pseudohypoparathyroidism type la. She was a typical congenital Albright syndrome patient with osteodystrophy including hands and feet, accompanied by obesity, strabismum, and retardation growth. Her calcium and phosphate levels were within the normal
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type Ia is characterized by multiple hormone resistance; primarily parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance and Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) which involves skeletal and developmental defects. The AHO phenotype alone without hormone resistance is defined as
A 16-year-old female presented with poor vision in both eyes. On clinical examination, she had bilateral cataracts and optic disc edema bilaterally on ultrasound examination. Extensive intracranial calcification was evident on computerized tomography. Physical examination revealed short stature,
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a group of rare genetic disorders that share organ targeted resistance to the action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) as a common feature. Biochemically, they may present with hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and elevated PTH. Some forms present with a specific
