The Relationship between Typical Environmental Endocrine Disruptors and Kidney Disease
Open accessAbstract
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous substances that alter the endocrine function of an organism, to result in adverse effects on growth and development, metabolism, and reproductive function. The kidney is one of the most important organs in the urinary system and an accumulation point. Studies have shown that EDCs can cause proteinuria, affect glomeruli and renal tubules, and even lead to diabetes and renal fibrosis in animal and human studies. In this review, we discuss renal accumulation of select EDCs such as dioxins, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates, and delineate how exposures to such EDCs cause renal lesions and diseases, including cancer. The regulation of typical EDCs with specific target genes and the activation of related pathways are summarized.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Zhang et al. [204] compared long-chain and short-chain PFASs, highlighting that short-chain PFASs, such as perfluorobutyric acid (PFBA), have a shorter half-life in blood and do not accumulate as extensively in kidney tissue. In contrast, PFOS was found to be more prevalent in human kidneys.”

In the citing paper
“Numerous epidemiological and mechanistic investigations have implied a connection between exposure to PFAS and a wide range of diseases, such as altered immune function, adverse reproductive effects, liver and kidney damage, obesity, and cancers (25–31).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
