The Role of Uremic Toxins in Comorbidities of Chronic Kidney Disease

Key takeaways

This is a review of uremic toxins, the waste products that build up in the blood when kidneys cannot clear them properly. It gathers what is known about how those toxins contribute to other problems that come with kidney disease, such as heart disease, inflammation and muscle loss. It summarizes existing research rather than reporting a new study, so there are no new results. It is useful as background for why kidney disease affects the whole body.
