Does high Concentration of Calcium stimulate Calcium Oxalate Crystal Attachment to Rat Tubular Epithelial NRK Cells Through Osteopontin?
In response to exposure to high concentration of calcium, renal tubular epithelial NRK cells increase the production of OPN, which may have a promoting role in CaOx crystal adhesion to NRK cells by calcium stimulation.
LGE is common in HTR and is associated with adverse ventricular remodelling and adverse clinical outcomes. LGE might be a useful noninvasive approach to monitor graft disease in asymptomatic patients after heart transplant.
