The Balance of the Evidence on Acid-Base Homeostasis and Progression of CKD
نویسنده
چکیده
Normalization of acid-base homeostasis in CKD holds promise for mitigating disease progression, but whether efforts should focus on patients with low serum bicarbonate or high dietary acid load is not known. In this issue Vallet et al contribute to this debate with a report that low urinary ammonia excretion independently associates with increased progression in moderate CKD. Whether this finding implicates differences in endogenous acid production or the ability to excrete an acid load in the pathogenesis of progression requires further study.

Objective(s):MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They have important roles in kidney development, homeostasis and disease, and participate in the onset and progression of tubulointerstitial sclerosis and end-stage glomerular lesions that occur in various forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the present study, we elucidated the role of microR...

The nutritional acid load hypothesis of osteoporosis is reviewed from its historical origin to most recent studies with particular attention to the essential but overlooked role of the kidney in acid–base homeostasis. This hypothesis posits that foods associated with an increased urinary acid excretion are deleterious for the skeleton, leading to osteoporosis and enhanced fragility fracture ris...

A new Schiff base ligand (L) obtained by the condensation reaction of N-acetylaceto-otoluidineand 2-aminopropanoic acid (an amino acid), is used to synthesize four mononuclearcomplexes of [MLCl] and [ML2] types (where M = Cu(II) and Zn(II); L = Schiff base) bykeeping the metal and ligand ratio as 1:1 and 1:2 respectively. This ligand and its complexeshave been characterized on the basis of diff...
