Metal Homeostasis Imbalance as Potentially Contributing Mechanism in Onset of Cardiac Disorders in Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at whether an imbalance of metals in the body, things like zinc, copper and iron, is linked to heart problems in people who have both chronic lung disease and chronic kidney disease. Damaged kidneys struggle to keep these metals in balance. The work shows an association only, not proof that metal imbalance causes the heart trouble. No abstract was available, so the size of the study is not known from this record.
