Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Carsten A Wagner"
- Carsten A Wagner's recent research focuses on the intersection of kidney function and cognitive impairment, with findings highlighting how cognitive decline can significantly affect patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), influenced by shared risk factors like diabetes and hypertension.
- His studies also investigate the mechanisms of phosphate absorption and regulation within the intestines and kidneys, demonstrating the roles of specific proteins like claudin-3 and the calcium-sensing receptor in renal phosphate management and disorders like familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.
- Additionally, Wagner's work emphasizes the importance of vitamin D metabolism in conditions like idiopathic hypercalciuria, showing associations between vitamin D-related enzymes and the phenotypic traits of kidney stone formers, as well as utilizing animal models to further understand cognitive impairments linked to CKD.
