Chronic kidney disease and vascular remodelling: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CKD (chronic kidney disease) is a severe and complex disease with a very high prevalence of CV (cardiovascular) complications. CKD patients are exposed to haemodynamic disturbances in addition to severe metabolic abnormalities that lead to a specific form of arterial remodelling, which contributes to the development of CV disease. Arterial calcification is a major event in the arterial remodelling process and is strongly linked to mineral metabolism abnormalities associated with CKD. Arterial remodelling is not limited to arterial calcification and modifications in arterial wall composition are also observed. Activation of the RAS (renin-angiotensin system), ET-1 (endothelin-1), endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress and ADMA (asymmetric ω-NG,NG-dimethylarginine), as well as the anti-aging molecule Klotho, are implicated in this process. The present review details the mechanisms involved in arterial calcification and arterial remodelling associated with CKD, and provides the clinical consequences of large and small artery stiffness and remodelling in CKD patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
