Background Prior research has highlighted the association between uric acid (UA) and the
activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). However, the specific …

Elevated serum uric acid levels are an independent predictor of occurrence and
development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are strongly associated with prognosis …

Cardiac valve calcification is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Low vitamin D levels are associated with vascular calcification in CKD. However, the …

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) are highly
prevalent predictors of cardiovascular disease in individuals with chronic kidney disease …

Aging and poor diet are independent risk factors for heart disease, but the impact of high-
sucrose (HS) consumption in the aging heart is understudied. Aging leads to impairments in …

Introduction Cardiovascular diseases are associated with increased morbidity and mortality
among CKD (chronic kidney disease) population. Recent studies have found increasing …

Introduction Circulating uric acid, ferritin, albumin, intact parathyroid hormone and gamma-
glutamyl transferase each participate in biochemical reactions that reduce or/and enhance …

The incidence of cardiovascular and kidney disease with age is growing steadily worldwide.
The factors for cardiovascular and kidney diseases are similar at elderly ages. Left …

The relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and cardiovascular disease is
intricate and influenced by multiple factors. The association between elevated SUA levels …

Introduction Serum uric acid (SUA) is an oxidative stress-related biomarker of cardiovascular
risk. We sought to discover whether or not SUA was related to left ventricular geometry …
