Animal Study Shows Potential for K2 in Kidney Disease

Press/Media: Research › Popular

Description

An experimental animal model of kidney failure has shown that vitamin K2 combined with phosphate binders (PBs) could potentially be a useful therapy for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
The paper was published in Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation, co-authored by Professor Leon Schurgers, Professor of Biochemistry of Vascular Calcification and Vice-Chair of Biochemistry at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM), Maastricht University.
