Abstract

The notion that oral intestinal sorbent AST-120 slows renal disease progression has not been evaluated thoroughly. In this study, we investigated the long-term effect of AST-120 on renal disease progression (doubling of serum creatinine, eGFR decrease >50%, or initiation of RRT) in patients with advanced CKD. We prospectively recruited 579 patients (CKD stage 3 or 4) from 11 medical centers in Korea from March 4, 2009 to August 31, 2010 and randomized them into an AST-120 arm and a control arm. Patients in the AST-120 arm were given 6 g AST-120 in three divided doses per day, and those in the control arm received only standard conventional treatment (open-label design) for 36 months or until the occurrence of primary outcomes. Levels of serum and urine indoxyl sulfate and β2-microglobulin decreased throughout the study period in both treatment arms; however, there was not a significant difference in change in uremic toxins in the AST-120 and control arms. The two arms were not different in the occurrence of composite primary outcomes (100 events in 272 individuals in the AST-120 arm and 100 events in 266 individuals in the control arm; hazard ratio, 1.12; 95% confidence interval, 0.85 to 1.48; log-rank P=0.45). The decline in e...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
