This important study addresses the idea that defective lysosomal clearance might be causal to renal dysfunction in cystinosis. With mostly solid data, the authors observe that restoring expression of ...

Renal tubular phosphate reabsorption increased from the baseline in both groups. In both groups, the mean serum alkaline phosphatase level decreased. The patients’ physical abilities improved, and ...

Sodium-ion batteries show promise as a cheaper, more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion but need major advancements to become competitive. Stanford’s STEER study emphasizes that innovation, not ...

renal potassium wastage also occurs and is thought to represent an inability to make hydrogen ion available for exchange with sodium in the distal tubule, leading to excessive exchange of ...

15 Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone inhibitors can increase serum creatinine due to renal afferent arteriole vasodilation; however, relatively small increases soon after initiation predict long-term ...
