New Therapies for Chronic Kidney Disease


Role of selective Effects of BMP-7 therapy on Renal Osteodystrophy (see figure below) Mechanisms of BMP-7 therapy in CKD Mechanisms of BMP-7 therapy for vascular calcification Will BMP-7 treat rather than prevent vascular calcification? (see figure below) Will BMP-7 increase GFR in severe kidney failure? Prostaglandin E2 receptor agonists/antagonists in diabetic nephropathy
