Abstract
This comprehensive book examines the complex interplay between endocrine and kidney disorders, and how this inter-relationship impacts patients with chronic kidney disease. Authored by experts in areas of endocrinology and nephrology, chapters cover a variety of topics, including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, gonadal disorders, dyslipidemia, mineral bone disorders, obesity, and pituitary disorders. These comorbidities are thoroughly examined and provide the clinician, researcher, and trainee with a greater understanding of the impact of endocrine disorders on kidney disease patients, the ability to identify persistent gaps in knowledge for future investigation, and move closer towards the goal of improving the health and survival of the chronic kidney disease population.

This book highlights recent advances in our understanding of sarcopenia and frailty in CKD. The prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty increases substantially as CKD progresses, and experimental studies have demonstrated the pivotal role of accumulated uremic toxin in the development of muscle wasting. Further, sarcopenia and frailty are associated with falls, bone fractures, cognitive impairment, and poor survival prognoses, especially in elderly CKD patients. The syndromes are also related to t…

Abstract
This book highlights recent advances in our understanding of sarcopenia and frailty in CKD. The prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty increases substantially as CKD progresses, and experimental studies have demonstrated the pivotal role of accumulated uremic toxin in the development of muscle wasting. Further, sarcopenia and frailty are associated with falls, bone fractures, cognitive impairment, and poor survival prognoses, especially in elderly CKD patients. The syndromes are also related to the risk of end-stage kidney disease. This book provides readers with a deeper understanding of the prevention and management of sarcopenia and frailty in CKD patients to improve their renal and overall health, and suggests directions for future basic and clinical research.

Exercise interventions in dialysis patients -- 7. Exercise intervention for kidney transplant recipients: recent progress and remaining issues -- 8. Role of nutrition and rehabilitation in the prevention and management of sarcopenia and frailty -- 9. Nutritional interventions in elderly pre-dialysis patients -- 10. Nutritional interventions in dialysis patients -- 11. Pharmacological intervention for sarcopenia in CKD -- 12. Oral Health Management for the Prevention of Sarcopenia and Frailty -- 13.

Abstract
This book describes the latest research on the gut-kidney axis of ureic solutes; the toxico-pathological mechanisms of uremic toxin-induced organ failure, including kidney and cardiovascular tissue; and the preventive therapeutic strategies for uremia and related organ failure associated with kidney injuries and diseases. Retained uremic toxins cause a variety of symptoms, such as hypertension, fatigue, renal anemia, osteoporosis and neurologic impairment, which are apparent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The human gastrointestinal tract contains trillions of microorganisms, referred to as gut microbiota, which support the host metabolism by producing nutrients, such as vitamins and short-chain fatty acids. However, they also produce various harmful uremic toxins that show renal and cardiovascular toxicity, and correlate with an increased mortality in CKD patients. The composition and balance of gut microbiota are associated with the accumulation of uremic toxins and the pathophysiology of CKD, and as such are being considered for a novel therapeutic strategy.
Contents
1. Overview of Uremic Toxins -- 2. Review: Uremic toxins and gut microbiome -- 3. Gut microbiota and systemic uremic solute accumulation -- 4. Uremic toxin-related systemic disorders -- 5. Uremic toxins and cardiovascular disease -- 6. Indoxyl sulfate and arteriosclerosis -- 7. Uremic toxicity and bone in CKD -- 8. D-serine as a novel uremic toxin -- 9. Uremic solutes and sarcopenia -- 10. Toxico-pathological role of hepatic sulfotransferase (SULT) 1A1 in acute kidney injuries -- 11. Accumulation of uremic toxins in systemic organs and the effect of AST-120.
