Kidney disease encompasses a complex set of diseases that can aggravate or start systemic pathophysiological processes through their complex metabolic mechanisms and effects on body homoeostasis. The ...

This results in increased phosphate resorption and creatinine excretion in the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT). Intermittent episodes of vaso-occlusion favor the occurrence of acute renal injury, ...
