Changes in serum indoxyl sulfate levels after acute myocardial infarction and the correlation with kidney injury: an observational study

Kidney function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) correlates with patient prognosis. Several studies reported the role that indoxyl sulfate (IS), a uremic toxin, plays in the progression of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular diseases. This study aims at investigating the serum IS level changes after AMI and their correlation with kidney injury. In this observational study, twenty consecutive patients with AMI who received...
