Introduction: Pre-transplant serum phosphorus level is shown to be associated with some transplant outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, its association with Delayed graft function (DGF) has an aura of ambiguity. DGF means either the patient needs dialysis during the first week after transplantation or the creatinine level is ≥ 3. This study was aimed to assess the relationship between pre-transplant serum phosphorus levels with DGF.
Methods: A total of 306 patients, who had undergone kidney transplantation in the Montaserieh organ transplantation hospital in Mashhad, Iran, during 2016 to 2019; were enrolled in this study. Demographic data and clinical characteristics of patients including dialysis type and duration, donor type, medications, pre-transplant serum levels of calcium, phosphorus and DGF development were measured. Then, all patients were divided into five groups according to their serum phosphorus: P < 3.5, 3.5 ≤ P < 5.5, 5.5 ≤ P < 7.5, 7.5 ≤ P < 9.5, and P ≥ 9.5 mg/dL. The association with DGF was evaluated by statistical analysis.
Results: Patients age ranged from 18.00 to 64.00 years old, with an average of 37.08 ± 10.9. About 55.6% of them were men, and 26.1% came up with DGF. Among patients with DGF, 36.25% were recipients with pre-transplant phosphorus level of 3.5 ≤ P < 5.5 and 50% of 5.5 ≤ P < 7.5.
Conclusion: Our study suggested that pre-transplant serum phosphorus might be associated with an increased risk of delayed graft function. Further studies are needed to assess, whether adjusting serum phosphorus level before kidney transplantation could reduce delayed graft function or not.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), necessitating effective risk assessment methods. This study evaluates the calcium-phosphorus product (Ca × P) to estimated glomerular filtration rate (Ca × P/eGFR) ratio as a potential biomarker for predicting CV risk in pre-dialysis CKD patients.
Methods: Eighty-four CKD patients in stages G1-G4, according to the KDIGO criteria, were classified into CVD ( = 43) and non-CVD ( = 41) groups.

Identifying biomarkers of mycotoxin effects in chickens will provide an opportunity for early intervention to reduce the impact of mycotoxicosis. This study aimed to identify whether serum enzyme concentrations, gut integrity, and liver miRNAs can be potential biomarkers for fumonisin B1 (FB1), deoxynivalenol (DON), and zearalenone (ZEA) toxicity in broiler birds as early as 14 days after exposure. A total of 720 male broiler chicks were distributed to six treatment groups: T1: control group (basal diet), T2 (2 FB1 + 2.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the third most common endocrine system disorder. Parathyroidectomy (PTx) is the gold standard of care in symptomatic patients. Patients who are not surgical candidates may benefit from percutaneous ethanol ablation, which is a minimally invasive procedure.

Background: Uremia (UR) is caused by increased UR-related toxins in the bloodstream. We explored the mechanism of enterogenous toxin methylmalonic acid (MMA) in calcium-phosphorus metabolic disorder in UR rats via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
Methods: The UR rat model was established by 5/6 nephrectomy.

Background And Objective: Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is the most common complication after cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of serum inorganic phosphorus (SIPL) as an indicator of LCOS in the postoperative period.
Materials And Methods: From June 2018 to December 2019, a single-center prospective study was conducted in patients with CHD undergoing surgery who required extracorporeal circulation (ECC).
