The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) ranges from 1.7% to 8.1%, with an estimated prevalence of 5.6% in the general population, and it has a major impact on public health in the elderly, affecting up to 11% of the population. Hemodialysis (HD) is a technique usually performed by about 90% of patients. However, this has adverse effects such as: large fluctuations in weight, osmola…
In addition to the vitamin D being associated with the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, it has been described that vitamin D is also involved in the modulation of cell mechanisms of innate immunity. The discovery that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and 1±-hydroxylase enzyme (CYP27B1) are present in cells of the immune system has revolutionized the field of immunology associated with vi…
Bacterial infections are the first cause of hospitalization and second cause of mortality in chronic kidney diseases (CKD) patients, suggesting an immunodeficiency in this population to eliminate pathogens. It has been described an important association between a depressed immunologic response in CKD patients and presence of uremic toxins. The uremic toxins has been reported to reduce rea…
Cardiovascular (CV) and infectious diseases remain the most common causes of mortality and morbidity, respectively among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previous studies have reported several alterations in immune cells, which contribute to increase incidence of CV and infectious diseases observed in this population. Biocompatibility of dialysis membrane and uremic toxins are …
