as individuals with CKD are at a significantly higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Recent research has focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms connecting CKD and ...

Here, we review current knowledge regarding the genetic contributions to renal hypoplasia with particular emphasis on the mechanisms that control nephron endowment in humans and mice. Much of the ...

Therefore, more direct and larger clinical trials (involving a larger proportion of CVD/CKD patients without diabetes) are needed to assess this drug. By exploring the cardiorenal protective effects ...
