Economic studies of chronic kidney disease
Approximately 9% of the global population has chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the most advanced form of CKD, comprise 0.15% of the global population but consume 2-4% healthcare budgets. While the impact of CKD and ESRD are experienced most immediately by …

The role of diet therapy in chronic kidney disease
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by gradual loss of kidney function over time. Millions of adults have CKD and those who have diabetes, hypertension, and family history of kidney failure are at highest risk of its development. Patients may develop comorbidities, …

Interactions Between Aging and Chronic Kidney Disease on the Skeleton
In the US, 15% of adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD). While CKD occurs across all ages, the prevalence is highest in the aged, with ~40% of individuals over age 65 having some form of CKD. CKD and aging are each independently associated with higher fracture risk, and thus overlaying CKD in …

Early Outgrowth Cells As A Novel Therapy for Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its cardiac complications represent a large and growing problem in Canada. The progression of CKD is driven by the activation of several final common pathways of injury, including fibrosis and oxidative stress. If left unchecked, these inter-connected processes lead …

Renal tubular secretion in chronic kidney disease: description, determinants, and outcomes
Background The presence and severity of chronic kidney disease are currently assessed by glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin excretion. Other kidney functions, such as proximal tubular secretion, are not typically quantified. Tubular secretion is capable of clearing metabolites from the …

Uraemic vascular damage and calcification in children with chronic kidney disease
Summary of thesis: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease. Structural and functional vascular abnormalities and arterial calcification begins early in the course of renal decline and can be found even in children, contributing to their high …
