Abstract Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the progression and outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The circulating levels of the inflammatory biomarkers interleukin 6 (IL6) and pentraxin 3 (PTX3) are enhanced in CKD patients, and a

Background: Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is a biomarker of erythropoiesis, which is often impaired in dialysis patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate sTfR levels in chronically dialyzed patients and assess potential determinants of its

Following organ transplantation, the outcome of the encounter between an APC and a T lymphocyte is strongly dependent on the presence of costimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules, the former associated with allograft rejection and the latter with all

Thymoglobulin, or antithymocyte globulin (ATG), and anti-interleukin 2α (IL-2α) chain receptor antibody (IL-2αRAb) achieve comparable good results in kidney transplantation notwithstanding different actions on immune cells. Previously, we reported

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) events are the main causes of death in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis. The number and severity of CVD events remain inappropriate and difficult to explain by considering only the classic CVD risk fact
