Trace Elements in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Correlations between plasma strontium concentration, components of calcium and phosphate metabolism and renal function in type 2 diabetes mellitus

“…In patients with end-stage renal disease on haemodialysis, increased plasma Sr 2+ concentration has been interpreted as a phenomenon of accumulation and may be associated with an increased risk for development of osteomalacia. 16,[22][23][24] From the same point of view, the use of Sr 2+ supplements has been linked with increased risk of Sr 2+ accumulation. [22][23][24] The present study shows, however, that increased plasma Sr 2+ concentration in CKD already occurs in the stages before initiation of dialysis.…”

“…16,[22][23][24] From the same point of view, the use of Sr 2+ supplements has been linked with increased risk of Sr 2+ accumulation. [22][23][24] The present study shows, however, that increased plasma Sr 2+ concentration in CKD already occurs in the stages before initiation of dialysis. The hypothesis of Sr 2+ accumulation in CKD is supported by our finding that urinary excretion of Sr 2+ is decreased in progressive CKD.…”

“…Possibly, in patients with CKD, there is an increased accumulation of plasma Sr 2+ concentration by reduced renal excretion of Sr 2+ . In patients with end‐stage renal disease on haemodialysis, increased plasma Sr 2+ concentration has been interpreted as a phenomenon of accumulation and may be associated with an increased risk for development of osteomalacia . From the same point of view, the use of Sr 2+ supplements has been linked with increased risk of Sr 2+ accumulation .…”

Nanoscale characterization of the sequestration and transformation of silver and arsenic in soil organic matter using atom probe tomography and transmission electron microscopy

“…Arsenic is a common contaminant in many soils 29–33 and its environmental fate depends on its chemical form and oxidation state (−3, −1, 0, +3, and +5). 19 It occurs in both inorganic and organic forms such as arsenous acid (H 3 AsO 3 ), arsenic acid (H 3 AsO 4 ), monomethylarsenic acid, dimethylarsenic acid and in solids such as arsenides, arsenites, and arsenates.…”

Assessment of Serum Chromium and Zinc Levels in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure

“…They play a vital role in cellular metabolism and the maintenance of homeostasis, acting as key co-factors for enzymes. Patients with CKD are potentially at risk of both essential trace element deficiencies, but also toxicity due to the failure to excrete other nonessential elements (2) . The kidney is a target site for element toxicity, and the cells of the proximal renal tubule have an important role in the hemostasis of the essential elements (3) .…”
