Dyskalemia in Chronic Kidney Disease: How Concerned Should We Be?

abstract：:The decarboxylation and transamination reactions of glyoxylate, which divert this precursor from oxalate formation, have been investigated. Decarboxylation of glyoxylate is synergistic with 2-oxoglutarate and catalysed by 2-oxoglutarate:glyoxylate carboligase which co-chromatographs with the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogena...
