Serum uromodulin is associated with impaired glucose metabolism

Uromodulin is the most abundant urine protein under physiological conditions. It has recently been described as a serum and plasma marker for kidney disease. Whether uromodulin is associated with impaired glucose metabolism is unknown.We therefore measured serum uromodulin and glucose traits in a cohort of 529 consecutively recruited patients.Serum uromodulin was significantly and inversely cor...

Second chances in mineral metabolism.

T he optimal management of disordered mineral metabolism in patients with chronic kidney disease has been among the most controversial topics in clinical nephrology during the past decade. The origins of the current controversies can be traced back to the initial reports from large-scale human studies of important associations between individual mineral metabolites—calcium, phosphorus, parathyr...

Altered Mineral Metabolism

A B S T R A C T Parameters of mineral and bone metabolism were studied in 17 patients treated chronically with supraphysiologic doses of glucocorticoids. When compared to 15 matched normal subjects, the patient group exhibited similar serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels, decreased intestinal 47Ca absorption, increased serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone, and decreased forearm bone ma...
