Abstract
In patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD),the incidence of cardiovascular events and the mortality rate are significantly higher than those in the general population.Approximately 85% of end-stage CKD patients develop hyperhomocysteinemia(HHcy)due to impaired renal function.It is not yet fully determined whether HHcy merely acts as a biomarker of CKD or plays a role in the pathogenesis.Although supplementation with folic acid and other B vitamins(B6 and B12)has been proven to lower the plasma level of total homocysteine,their effectiveness in slowing CKD progression or reducing cardiovascular complications remains uncertain.This article reviews the latest research progress in the relationship between HHcy and CKD,aiming to give new insights into the prevention and treatment of CKD and its complications.
期刊介绍：
Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae was founded in February 1979. It is a comprehensive medical academic journal published in China and abroad, supervised by the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China and sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College.
The journal mainly reports the latest research results, work progress and dynamics in the fields of basic medicine, clinical medicine, pharmacy, preventive medicine, biomedicine, medical teaching and research, aiming to promote the exchange of medical information and improve the academic level of medicine. At present, the journal has been included in 10 famous foreign retrieval systems and their databases [Medline (PubMed online version), Elsevier, EMBASE, CA, WPRIM, ExtraMED, IC, JST, UPD and EBSCO-ASP]; and has been included in important domestic retrieval systems and databases [China Science Citation Database (Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences), China Core Journals Overview (Peking University Library), China Science and Technology Paper Statistical Source Database (China Science and Technology Core Journals) (China Institute of Scientific and Technological Information), China Science and Technology Journal Paper and Citation Database (China Institute of Scientific and Technological Information)].
