IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-α: Central factors in the altered cytokine network of uremia—The good, the bad, and the ugly

TLDR
Given the strong association between proinflammatory cytokines and complications common in end-stage renal disease, such as vascular calcification and wasting, the potential role of both general and targeted anticytokine treatment strategies in ESRD patients needs further evaluation.

Aspects of Immune Dysfunction in End-stage Renal Disease

TL;DR: The potential role of the immune dysfunction in ESRD as an underlying cause for the high mortality in this patient population is emphasized and the need for more studies in this area is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in the progression of chronic kidney disease

TL;DR: The role of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in the progression of chronic kidney disease is discussed in this paper, where ACE inhibitors and AII receptor antagonists are used in combination to maximize RAAS inhibition and more effectively reduce proteinuria and GFR decline in diabetic and nondiabetic renal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune cell dysfunction and inflammation in end-stage renal disease

TL;DR: This finding suggests that premature ageing of the immune system in patients with ESRD might be related to a permanent skewing of the haematopoetic stem cell population towards myeloid-generating subsets, similar to that seen in healthy elderly individuals.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

Atherosclerosis is an Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Despite changes in lifestyle and the use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations, cardiovascular disease continues to be the principal cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia.

Hay fever, hygiene, and household size.

TL;DR: A possible explanation forHay fever trends over time is suggested, as well as a recent increase in the prevalence of asthma2 and childhood eczema.

Increased adipose tissue expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human obesity and insulin resistance.

TL;DR: A role for the abnormal regulation of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of obesity-related insulin resistance is suggested as well as the effects of weight reduction by dietary treatment of obesity on the adipose expression of TNF-alpha mRNA.
