Idiopathic calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones often develop attached to Randall's plaque
present on kidney papillary surfaces. Similar to the plaques formed during vascular …

Abstract Fetuin-A (Alfa 2-Heremans-Schmid) is a glycoprotein that is mainly synthesized by
hepatocytes and then released into the bloodstream. While fetuin-A, a multifunctional …

Fetuin-A, a hepatokine secreted by hepatocytes, binds to insulin receptors and consequently
impairs the activation of the insulin signaling pathway, leading to insulin resistance …

Calcium (Ca2+) is an important mediator of multicellular homeostasis and is involved in
several diseases. The interplay among the kidney, bone, intestine, and parathyroid gland in …

Résumé Urinary supersaturation is important for crystallization and likely cause of stone
formation on ductal plugs. Formation of idiopathic stones that develop on Randall's plaques …

Background: Nephrolithiasis has been associated with bone loss and vascular calcification
(VC), reflecting abnormal extraosseous calcium deposition. Fetuin-A (Fet-A) acts as a potent …

Abstract Purpose of Review The impact of nephrolithiasis on skeletal growth and bone
health across the life span of kidney stone formers is reviewed. Main Findings Bone disease …

Kidney diseases are conditions that increase the morbidity and mortality of those afflicted.
Diagnosis of these conditions is based on parameters such as the glomerular filtration rate …

Fetuin-A (FetA) is a glycoprotein primarily synthesized in hepatocytes, but recent studies
have demonstrated that it is also synthesized in adipose tissue, classifying it as both a …

Background: It is believed that vascular calcification and urinary stones may possibly have a
shared mechanism. However, the association between vascular calcification and urinary …
