Myeloid cell-derived coagulation tissue factor is associated with renal tubular damage in mice fed an adenine diet

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) commonly exhibit hypercoagulability. Increased levels of uremic toxins cause thrombogenicity by increasing tissue factor (TF) expression and activating the extrinsic coagulation cascade. TF is induced in monocytes and macrophages under pathological conditions, such as inflammatory diseases. However, the role of monocyte myeloid cell TF in CKD progression remains unclear. We aimed to clarify this issue,...
