Background: Excess visceral fat (VF) or high body mass index (BMI) is risk factors for severe COVID-19. The receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is expressed at higher levels in the VF than in the subcutaneous fat (SCF) of obese patients.Aim: To show that visceral fat accumulation better predicts severity of...

Introduction: Patients on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients (KTR) present the syndrome of mineral and bone disorders (MBD), which share common traits with monogenic calcifying diseases related to disturbances of the purinergic system. Low plasma levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and ectopic vascular calcifications belong to these...

Increased adipokine production and hyperfiltration may explain the links between obesity and chronic kidney disease. Indeed, hyperfiltration may precede a subsequent accelerated decline of kidney function in these patients. Glomerular filtration rate decreases after bariatric surgery in young obese patients with hyperfiltration.

Liver fibrosis is associated with arterial calcification (AC). Since the liver is a source of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), an anti-calcifying compound, we investigated the relationship between plasma PPi ([PPi]pl), liver fibrosis, liver function, AC, and the hepatic expression of genes regulating PPi homeostasis. To that aim, we compared...
