Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is classified into five stages with kidney failure being the most
severe stage (stage G5). CKD conveys a high risk for coronary artery disease, heart failure …

Luminescent lanthanide complexes have been actively studied as selective anion receptors
for the past two decades. Ln (III) complexes, particularly of europium (III) and terbium (III) …

The kidney has the principal role in the maintenance of acid-base balance. Therefore, a
decrease in renal ammonium excretion and a positive acid balance often leading to a …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs commonly in older dogs and cats and is the most
common renal disease occurring in elderly patients. It is defined as structural and/or …

Traditional dietary recommendations to renal patients limited the intake of fruits and

Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate serum bicarbonate level as a risk factor
for renal outcomes, cardiovascular events, and mortality in patients with chronic kidney …

The kidney has the principal role in the maintenance of acid-base balance, and therefore, a
fall in renal net acid excretion and positive H+ balance often leading to reduced serum [HCO …

Acid-base homeostasis is critical to maintenance of normal health. Renal ammonia

Background Metabolic acidosis (MA) is associated with a loss of muscle mass and faster
deterioration of kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A few single …

Recent studies suggest that alkalinizing treatments improve the course of chronic kidney
disease (CKD), even in patients without overt metabolic acidosis. Here, we tested whether a …
