Phosphate intake and removal in predominantly vegetarian patients on twice-weekly hemodialysis
Conclusion: Twice-weekly dialysis is often practised in resource-limited Asian countries. However, due to a predominantly vegetarian diet, hyperphosphatemia was noted only in up to half of the patients, despite twice-weekly hemodialysis schedules. This reinforces the fact that plant-based dietary phosphate is less well absorbed. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

Longitudinal study to find the association of serum phosphorus level with FGF23 in three different hyperphosphatemia management groups of stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients
Conclusion: Serum phosphorus levels upto 5mg/dl had no effect on FGF23 at early CKD stages. Although different treatment groups showed significant phosphorus reduction, non-calcium phosphate binder had a major impact on FGF23 reduction. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

The burden of peripheral neuropathy in nondiabetic chronic kidney disease and the role of ghrelin isoforms in its development
Conclusion: The prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in CKD is significantly higher with almost half of them being asymptomatic. Impaired renal clearance in CKD leads to the accumulation of DAG, which subsequently inhibits the neuroprotective functions of AG leading to neuropathy in CKD. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

The biological roles of urea: A review of preclinical studies
Olorunsola I Adeyomoye, Christopher O Akintayo, Kolade P Omotuyi, Adebukola N AdewumiIndian Journal of Nephrology 2022 32(6):539-545 Urea is an organic compound that has been reported to be effective against many pathological conditions. However, many other studies have reported the toxic effects of urea. These controversies on the biological roles of urea remain unresolved. This review aims to evaluate the biological roles of urea in experimental animals from data published in peer-reviewed journals. A PubMed search was conducted using the phrase, “urea application in experimental animals.” A to...

Current status and future of artificial kidney in humans
Rahul Jena, Amit Aggarwal, Gautam R Choudhary, Nitin K BajpaiIndian Journal of Nephrology 2022 32(6):531-538 The number of patients needing renal replacement therapy (RRT) is increasing rapidly with an increase in lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. Kidney transplantation, whenever feasible, is the most preferred mode of RRT. However, there is a growing shortage of donor kidneys for transplantation. While dialysis is partially able to perform the filtration and excretion function of the kidneys, it is still not able to perform the other renal tubular and endocrine functions of a norm...
