These include (1) inflammatory-oxidative (dominated by indoxyl sulfate, p-cresyl sulfate, NLRP3 inflammasome activation), (2) mineral-metabolic (hyperphosphatemia, FGF23 excess, Klotho deficiency), (3) epigenetic-senescent (histone modifications, microRNA dysregulation, cellular senescence), (4) endocrine cross-talk (vitamin D, PTH, gut-derived metabolites), and (5) integrated toxic continuum (convergence of multiple pathways in advanced disease). The gene discussed is NLRP3; the disease is hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 4.
