The cost-effectiveness of lipid lowering for primary cardiovascular prevention in chronic kidney disease: moving beyond statins.

Abstract:

:Because of high risk of cardiovascular disease, patients with chronic kidney disease may benefit from cholesterol-lowering therapy beyond statins. A cost-effectiveness analysis of adding ezetimibe to high-dose statins for primary cardiovascular disease prevention in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease found treatment with ezetimibe to be cost-effective for many patients with chronic kidney disease. We describe the importance of this topic and explain key assumptions necessary for the investigators to arrive at their conclusions.

  • Endostatin and transglutaminase 2 are involved in fibrosis of the aging kidney.

    abstract::Endostatin (EST), an antiangiogenic factor, is enriched in aging kidneys. EST is also an interactive partner of transglutaminase 2 (TG2), an enzyme that cross-links extracellular matrix proteins. Here we tested whether EST and TG2 play a role in the fibrosis of aging. In wild-type mice, aging kidneys exhibited a 2- to...
