Our data align with previous research showing that IS upregulates ICAM‐1 and MCP‐1 expression via ROS‐induced activation of NF‐κB in vascular endothelial cells.[71] Furthermore, assaying conditioned media for secreted inflammatory proteins identified several factors that have been shown to correlate with mortality and/or cardiovascular events in patents with CKD. Here, CCL2 is linked to chronic kidney disease.
