INTRODUCTION
Uremic toxins, including indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), contribue to cardiac fibrosis and maladaptive remodeling in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although their roles in ventricular and vascular pathology are well established, their effects on sinus node cells and the associated molecular...

BACKGROUND
Time in target range (TTR) for blood pressure reflects the consistency of blood pressure control and may better predict outcomes than single measurements. We examined the association between systolic blood pressure (SBP)-TTR and graft outcomes in kidney transplant recipients.
METHODS
We conducted a prospec...

Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a protein-bound uremic toxin that accumulates in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and promotes oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and fibrosis, thereby contributing to vascular stenosis in patients receiving hemodialysis. CKD is also c...
