Management of Hyperuricemia in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: a Focus on Renal Protection.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Here, we review the known relations between hypertension and obesity to inflammation and postulate the endogenous protective effect of melatonin and its potential as a therapeutic agent. We will describe the multiple effects of melatonin on blood pressure, adiposity, body weight, and focus on mitochon...
