Acute kidney injury is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Reichardt et al. investigated DNA-binding protein-A (Ybx3) in acute kidney injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury and found that mice lacking Ybx3 have altered mitochondrial function and increased antioxidant (…) (Kidney International 106, 2 (2024))

Phosphate toxicity includes induction of parathyroid hyperplasia, especially in the setting of kidney failure, resultant secondary hyperparathyroidism, and bone fragility. Moreover, recent studies have uncovered the toxic effects of phosphate excess on the cardiovascular system and the aging (…) (Kidney International 106, 2 (2024))

Acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients seems to be a common occurrence when seen through the lens of a consulting nephrologist. But considering the number of hospitalizations that occur each year and the many patients who undergo treatments and procedures that may affect the kidney, (…) (Kidney International 106, 2 (2024))

Phosphate homeostasis in humans is coordinated by complex interactions between the intestine, parathyroid glands, kidneys, and bone. In people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), dysregulation of these systems results in hyperphosphatemia, which may possibly have serious clinical (…) (Kidney International 106, 2 (2024))

Phosphate is indispensable for all forms of animal and vegetable life. It is a vital component of DNA, RNA, and proteins and is responsible for numerous enzymatic reactions within the cells. In humans, ?85% of phosphate is located in bone and teeth. The issue of the present controversy is that (…) (Kidney International 106, 2 (2024))
