OBJECTIVE: The uremic toxin Indoxyl-3-sulphate (IS), a ligand of Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), raises in blood during early renal dysfunction as a consequence of tubular damage, which may be present even when eGFR is normal or only moderately reduced, and promotes cardiovascular damage and monocyte-macrophage activation. We previously found that patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) have higher...
