BACKGROUND: Knowledge on normal progress and treatment of Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is limited. This study reviews outcome, clinical, pathological, and therapeutic factors affecting the prognosis of HSPN patients. METHODS: Forty-nine children with biopsy-confirmed HSPN diagnosed between September 2008 and 2018 were included. Demographics, clinical and laboratory data, treatment, and outcome were recorded at the time of biopsy, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months and at last visit...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible involvement of erythr opoietin (EPO)/erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) system in neovascularization and vascular regeneration in diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS: EPOR positive circulating progenitor cells (CPCs: CD34(+)) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs: CD34(+)KDR(+)) were assessed by flow cytometry in type 2 diabetic patients with different stages of DR. The cohort consisted of age- and sex-matched control patients with out diabetes ( n=7),non-proliferative DR (NPDR, n=7),non-proliferative DR (PDR, n=8), and PDR complicated with diabetic nephr opathy (PDR-DN, n=7)...

OBJECTIVE: To develop and test a Medline filter that allows clinicians to search for articles within a clinical discipline, rather than searching the entire Medline database. DESIGN: Diagnostic test assessment framework with development and validation phases. SETTING: Sample of 4657 articles published in 2006 from 40 journals. Reviews Each article was manually reviewed, and 19.8% contained information relevant to the discipline of nephrology...

BACKGROUND: Podocyturia is a marker of diabetic nephr- opathy, a possible determinant of its progression and a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A reduction in podocyte adhesion to the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) via downregulation of alpha3beta1 integrin expression, the main podocyte anchoring dimer to the GBM, may represent one of the mechanisms of podocyturia in glomerular disease. This study investigated the role of mechanical forces and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) in podocyte adhesion and integrin expression...

Chronic renal disease results in growth failure in children. This study sought to determine the influences of early renal failure on body growth, growth hormone (GH) secretion, and GH-dependent hepatic gene expression. Neonatal animals were subjected to five-sixth nephrectomy (Nephr) and monitored during growth. Sham-operated male (Sham) and female (Fem) rats served as controls. Whereas Nephr of adult animals causes renal insufficiency, neonatal nephrectomy leads to frank renal failure. In male Nephr compared with Sham animals, GH half-life and GH pulse frequency increased by 1...

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Proteinuria, hypoproteinaemia, hypoalbuminaemia and oedema are major characteristics of nephrotic syndrome. Aims of this study were to detect serum total LDH activity and its isozymes in nephrotic syndrome. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, clinical parameters were compared in three cohorts, namely kidney patients with or without nephrotic syndrome and hypoalbuminaemic controls (NEPHR, NON-NEPHR, CONTR, respectively). RESULTS: Serum total LDH activity in the NEPHR group was increased compared with the NON-NEPHR and CONTR groups (p < 0...

UNLABELLED: Frasier syndrome (FS) is characterised by male pseudohermaphroditism, slowly progressing nephropathy and frequent development of gonadoblastoma. The Wilms' tumour suppressor gene (WT1 gene) plays an important role in the development of the urogenital system and the gonads. A splice mutation in intron 9 of the WT1 gene was recently described in patients with FS. We analysed the WT1 gene of a Japanese patient with male pseudohermaphroditism, steroid resistant-nephr-opathy and gonadoblastoma by the polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing and detected a heterozygous point mutation in intron 9...

Peritubular capillaries (PCs) with a circumferentially multilayered basement membrane have been suggested as an ultrastructural indicator of chronic renal allograft rejection (CR). The authors validated this lesion as a marker for CR, by analyzing its quantitative features, specificity, and sensitivity in 169 renal biopsy specimens. The mean number of circumferential layers (PCcirc) and the incidences of the grades (mild: 2 to 4, moderate: 5 to 6, severe: 7 or more layers) were investigated in biopsy specimens involving CR (CR(Bx), n = 46), acute rejection (n = 11), normal kidneys (n = 20), psoriatics treated with cyclosporine (n = 13), renal transplants with chronic cyclosporine toxicity (n = 12), native kidney diseases (NKD, n = 56), and transplant nephrectomies attributable to CR (Cr(nephr), n = 11)...
