Overview

Systematic review reveals that uremic toxins drive endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation in chronic kidney disease, highlighting therapeutic targets for cardiovascular risk.

Key Points

  • To systematically synthesize evidence on uremic serum- and uremic toxin-induced endothelial dysfunction and characterize the underlying molecular mechanisms in chronic kidney disease.
  • Conducted a systematic review of literature focused on uremic serum and uremic toxin-mediated vascular and endothelial dysfunction, identifying 39 eligible studies.
  • Evaluated endothelial responses to specific toxins, including indoxyl sulfate, cyanate, modified LDL, advanced glycation end products, p-cresol, p-cresyl sulfate, phosphate, uric acid, and asymmetric dimethylarginine.
  • Most evaluated studies demonstrated that exposure to uremic conditions triggers endothelial inflammation, oxidative stress, leukocyte migration and adhesion, apoptosis, and a prothrombotic state.
  • Identified recurrent activation of key intracellular signaling cascades in damaged endothelial cells, predominantly the ROS, MAPK/NF-κB, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and RAGE pathways.
