Cardiorenal connection in chronic kidney disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Dotinurad is a novel, selective urate reabsorption inhibitor (SURI), which reduces serum uric acid levels by selective inhibition of the urate transporter 1 (URAT1). The Japanese guideline for the management of hyperuricemia and gout recommends that drug selection should be based on classification of hyperur...

abstract：:Increasing attention has been paid to the relationship of autoantibodies to ribosomal P proteins (anti-P) with lupus nephritis. Several mechanisms of involvement of anti-P in lupus nephritis have been proposed, including cross-reactivity with anti-dsDNA and anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA). In addition, it is a...
