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 ...

Vascular calcification, low bone mass and fragility fractures are all frequent age-dependent disorders. Recent clinical and experimental data suggest that vascular calcification and bone loss could ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have uncovered a link between cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, revealing novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets ...

A new study published suggests that the connection between coronary artery calcification—a measure of calcium buildup in 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Overall control of hyperparathyroidism and hyperphosphatemia appeared to be associated with a reduction in left ventricular mass, however. Adding cinacalcet to standard therapy may not further improve ...

DUBLIN – Sanifit Therapeutics SA has found a taker for its phase III calcification inhibitor for kidney dialysis patients, SNF-472, in the shape of Vifor Pharma AG, which is acquiring the Spanish ...

Logistic regression is the most cost-effective model for medial vascular calcification classification, with a mean ICER of $278 using five low-cost features. Despite similar diagnostic accuracy, ...

Just as cleaning our house or any other important location is a part of good health, cleaning our arteries is also a crucial aspect of good health, but it is often overlooked. Healthy arteries ensure ...
