1. 45Ca released from embryonal fetal rat bone into a tissue culture system containing uremic serum was lower than 45Ca measured in culture media containing normal sera. 2. With stimulation of bone calcium mobilization by the addition of PTH, 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3 and 25 (OH)2D3, the 45Ca released into media containing uremic serum was significantly lower than measured in cultures containing normal serum. 3. Addition of PTH in combination with 24,25(OH)2D3 or with 24,25(OH)2D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 to bone cultures containing uremic serum increased the 45Ca released into the media when compared to cultures containing uremic serum and PTH.

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.

Uremic pruritus (UP) is a debilitating condition frequently associated with chronic kidney disease, severely impairing patients' quality of life and contributing to increased mortality. Recent studies have suggested that intravenous sodium thiosulfate (STS) may offer therapeutic relief for pruritus in patients undergoing hemodialysis. To assess its effectiveness, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the potential of intravenous STS in managing UP.

Metabolomics provides powerful tools that can inform about heterogeneity in disease and response to treatments. In this exploratory study, we employed an electrochemistry-based targeted metabolomics platform to assess the metabolic effects of three randomly-assigned treatments: escitalopram, duloxetine, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in 163 treatment-naïve outpatients with major depressive disorder. Serum samples from baseline and 12 weeks post-treatment were analyzed using targeted liquid chromatography-electrochemistry for metabolites related to tryptophan, tyrosine metabolism and related pathways.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern, with a 10% global prevalence. Its prevalence may further increase in the coming decades, thereby increasing the risk of uremic xerosis. Approximately 50-90% of patients with CKD have xerosis, leading to pruritus that affects their quality of life due to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression.

Background: Calcification of the radial artery is one of the main causes of anastomotic stenosis in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas in uremic patients. However, the pathogenesis of calcification is still unknown. This study attempted to screen and validate the risk factors for vascular calcification in patients with uremia.
