Background Anemia often complicates chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to insufficient
tissue oxygenation and hypoxic injury, the factor thought to underlie progression from CKD …

Aims Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmentally and biologically persistent
synthetic environmental contaminants linked to adverse health outcomes. Though null to …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitously detected in populations
worldwide and may hinder kidney function. The objective of the study was to determine …

Associations between selected perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and biomarkers of renal
function were evaluated for US adult aged≥ 20 years (N= 8220) in the National Health and …

Background Perfluoroalkyl acids are synthetic compounds widely used in industrial and
commercial applications. Laboratory studies suggest that these persistent and …

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widely-utilized synthetic chemicals commonly found
in industrial and consumer products. Previous studies have examined associations between …

Abstract Data (N= 6844) from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for US
adults aged≥ 20 years for the years 2007–2014 were analyzed to evaluate distributional …

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been reported to be harmful to multiple organs in the
human body. Based on a previous study suggesting that hemodialysis (HD) may be a …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem. Identifying novel risk factors
for CKD, including widely prevalent environmental exposures, is therefore important …

Introduction The objective of this study was to validate the hypothesis that increased serum
concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) cause kidney damage. A causal …
