Toxic wastes and kidney disease: research needs.
In 1981 over one billion dollars will be spent sustaining the lives of patients with end-stage renal disease by hemodialysis and renal transplantation, but less than 0.02% of this amount will be invested in studies of nephrotoxicity (1). Any knowledge of the effect of industrial waste on human kidney disease gained from this miniscule effort will probably be serendipitous. Our monumental ignora...
متن کاملCommentary: Age-related neurodegenerative disease research needs aging models
Citation: Wallace LMK and Howlett SE (2016) Commentary: Age-related neurodegenerative disease research needs aging models. In his recent article, Ian Johnson identifies a need for research into neurodegenerative diseases that makes use of animal models more closely resembling the complex, age-related reality of these diseases in people (Johnson, 2015). The purpose of this commentary is to build...

In response to my recent article (Johnson, 2015), Wallace and Howlett have provided a thoughtful commentary pointing out that aging might be defined not just by the passage of time, but by the accumulation of defects in multiple regions throughout the organism that can be represented by a frailty index (Wallace and Howlett, 2016). It occurs to me that this approach might help overcome two major...
متن کاملObesity and Kidney Disease
The rise in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and an increase in the prevalence of obesity in parallel in the recent years is a great concern. CKD increases the rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and development of end-stage renal disease, and leads to premature death. Although no direct causality link between obesity and CKD can yet be established, this appears highly probable. ...
متن کاملHigh burden and unmet patient needs in chronic kidney disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex debilitating condition affecting more than 70 million people worldwide. With the increased prevalence in risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease in an aging population, CKD prevalence is also expected to increase. Increased awareness and understanding of the overall CKD burden by health care teams (patients, clinicians, a...
