Objective: Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of key biomarkers, including parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D3, calcium, phosphate, and renal function tests (RFTS), in patients with chronic renal failure over three years..
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: A cohort of 83 patients with chronic renal failure and 70 healthy controls were followed, with data collected at one, two, and three years.
Results: Results: Significant differences were observed in the levels of creatinine, urea, phosphate, calcium, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone between patients and controls. the study found a progressive increase in phosphate and parathyroid hormone levels, alongside a decrease in calcium and vitamin D levels in patients over time. strong correlations were observed between these biomarkers, highlighting the complex interplay between mineral metabolism and renal function in chronic renal failure.
Conclusion: Conclusions: These findings confirm the need for integrated management strategies to address these biochemical disturbances and improve the life quality of patients with chronic renal failure.

Background: Cigarette smoking is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular harm.
Objectives: The study sought to explore the detailed relationships between smoking intensity, pack-years, and time since cessation with inflammation, thrombosis, and subclinical atherosclerosis markers of cardiovascular harm.
Methods: We included 182,364 participants (mean age 58.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and damaged bone microstructure, often leading to fragility fractures. Low bone mineral density is a key risk factor for fractures. Serum cystatin C (CysC), an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate, is negatively correlated with bone mineral density and may be a potential risk factor for osteoporosis.

Objectives: To investigate homocysteine (Hcy) levels in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension and a healthy Nigerian population, and to assess their association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
Setting: The study was conducted using data from the Ibadan CRECKID (Cardiovascular and Renal Event in People with Chronic Kidney Disease) study in Nigeria.
Participants: A total of 420 adults (aged 18+) categorised into three groups: individuals with stage 2 CKD or higher, hypertensive non-CKD individuals and normotensive individuals.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) lacks a definitive therapeutic approach beyond supportive care. One significant pathological mechanism involves the regulated death of tubular epithelial cells; however, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this cell death pathway require further investigation. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, recognized as the most prevalent modification in eukaryotes, plays a critical role in the regulatory processes associated with AKI.

Objectives: The current study focuses on how abortion access affects people who are pregnant, have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and desire an abortion. From the perspective of the pregnant patient, we will examine the outcomes and costs associated with providing or refusing in-state access to abortion for this population.
Study Design: A decision-analytic model was built to compare the outcomes and costs associated with providing abortions in-state compared to those associated with a complete statewide abortion ban.
