Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a potential novel treatment target for CVD in CKD. Dr. Haarhaus discusses ALP-related mechanisms of increased CV risk and beneficial effects of the BET inhibitor apabetalone.

Epigenetic processes are involved in renal damage. Marta Ruiz-Ortega describes the role of vascular calcification and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in CKD and effects of BET inhibition on vascular calcification.

ERA-EDTA 2019 Epigenetics contribute to vascular calcification, which is a hallmark of CVD in CKD. Prof. Brandenburg explains how BET inhibition can interfere with factors and pathways associated with vascular calcification.
