    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 : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a life threatening condition with high risk of pre-term death and need for dialysis. The population prevalence of CKD has been estimated to 10-13% for both Europe and the USA. READ MORE

  5. 3. Renal function and renal histopathology in assessment of course and prognosis in Henoch Schönlein nephritis and IgA nephropathy

    Author : Stella Edström Halling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Henoch Schönlein Nephritis (HSN) is a common childhood vasculitis that generally has a self-limiting course but the long-term outcome varies with the clinical picture at onset. Morbidity is high among the most severe cases, and therefore there is a need for intervention. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mental illness in chronic kidney disease : prognosis, drug utilization, and treatment outcomes

    Author : Nanbo Zhu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common yet heterogeneous condition, covering a wide spectrum of disease severity ranging from mildly decreased kidney function to kidney failure. Patients with CKD can often encounter mental health conditions that are related to poor prognosis. READ MORE

  7. 5. The role of FGF23/Klotho in mineral metabolism and chronic kidney disease

    Author : Hannes Olauson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden of growing incidence and prevalence. As renal function declines disturbances in mineral metabolism, such as hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism, inevitably develop. These metabolic changes are closely associated with poor prognosis and survival. READ MORE
