Vascular Senescence in Chronic kidney Disease; Association of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activated by Indoxyl Sulfate

The impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major concern and this reciprocal relation is currently so called "cardio-renal syndrome". More detailed understanding in its mechanism may have a possibility to reduce the global burden of CVD. Of note, uremic toxins have been known to accumulate in the progression of CKD and play an important role for worsening renal function, on the other hand, recent studies suggest that they also negatively affect cardiovascular system. In this review, we delve into the role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in uremic toxicities, as highlighted in our latest work and give a new insight for the mechanism of cardio-renal syndrome
