    Abstract : Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) was initially identified as the causative factor of autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets. Further studies confirmed that FGF23 is predominantly expressed in the osteocytes and osteoblasts of bone and that circulating FGF23 acts on the kidney to inhibit renal phosphate reabsorption and 1,25(OH)2D3 hydroxylation.

    Abstract : Background: Aortic valve disease is increasing among the elderly and aortic valve replacement is the most common cardiac surgical valve procedure in adults. Aortic stenosis (AS) is often associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in an unexplained pattern. READ MORE

  5. 3. Childhood malignant disease and consequences for growth hormone secretion, intellectual function and cardiovascular risk

    Abstract : In childhood onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD) a reduction in cardiac left ventricular mass (LVMi) and impairment of cardiac systolic function, as well as in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been shown. In study I, we showed that a low dose of GH treatment for 10 months resulted in increased LVMi and kidney size. READ MORE

  7. 5. Impact of chronic kidney disease on the cardiovascular system : studies in non-dialysis patients and healthy people

    Author : Anna Asp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiac and arterial remodeling and stiffening occur in end-stage renal disease. The presence of cardiovascular (CV) alterations in earlier-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) is less well studied. READ MORE
