The functional adaptation to the removal of the contralateral kidney consists mostly of an increase in the glomerular filtration rate of the remaining kidney, and hypertrophy of cells comprising the nephron, mainly of the proximal tubular cells. Although the phenomenon of single kidney hypertrophy has been known for the past thousand years and despite intensive research over the past century, the mechanism of this process still remains unclear. The present article reviews the role of mesangial cells in compensatory renal hypertrophy. PMID: 20160436 [Pub...

Our findings suggest curcumin as a potential candidate for treatment of tubulointerstitial fibrosis.

Subjects with high BMI generally have high BSA, which tends to increase ECV/BSA because of the disproportionate relation between ECV and BSA (the 'BSA effect'). These opposing effects serendipitously and erroneously create the impression that BSA is suitable for scaling ECV (and by implication, GFR) in obesity.

Recent data indicate that dysregulation of protein synthesis that leads to either increased or decreased expression of specific proteins contributes to the manifestations of various kidney diseases. Most of the control of protein synthesis occurs in the first or initiation phase, which is also the most complicated. Following the initiation phase is the elongation phase where the peptide chain is formed. RNA transcripts are released from ribosomes after the termination phase. Transcripts can be translated in a cap-dependent or cap-independent manner. The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) cascade regulates translation of most cap-dependent transcripts at ...

We evaluated the association of self-reported race and genetic African ancestry with elevated creatinine (>/=1.3 mg/dl for men, >/=1.1 mg/dl for women) among 3,113 black and white participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, ages 38-50 years.

Although his remains were resurrected and autopsied 113 years later, the cause of his death has yet to be explained fully. In this detailed review of his clinical history and autopsy findings, we conclude, as have others, that Jones died of kidney failure of undermined etiology. Although 'interstitial nephritis' was diagnosed by the prosectors who performed his autopsy, we believe glomerulopathy (possibly IgA nephropathy) was more likely responsible for his kidney failure and that his death was due to a cardiac arrhythmia or some other complication of uremia.

This most likely accounts for the high-affinity Ab binding we and others observed among human anti-alpha3(IV)NC1 Ab. Based on these observations, we postulate that this interaction provides for the stability of the Ab interaction, resulting in a high-affinity interaction that serves as an ideal scaffold for optimal FcR engagement and complement activation, thereby accelerating inflammation and contributing to the rapidly progressive nature of this disease.

APS is an autoimmune disease with multifactorial etiology that includes cellular, molecular, genetic and pathogenic mechanisms. The APS clinical features are a combination of arterial and/or venous thrombosis, hematological events, recurrent fetal losses, neurological disorders and intra-abdominal manifestations.

Conclusion: NSAIDs reduced diabetic change: GFR, albuminuria, p27, and fibronectin. The effects of ibuprofen are similar if not more beneficial than COX-2 inhibition by NS-398. This study has clinical relevance for diabetics prior to overt nephropathy. Future studies should reveal the effects of NSAIDs in a more severe disease environment.

Although this group of therapeutics are structurally and functionally distinct with numerous mechanisms of action, the most important factor governing their therapeutic capability is clearly their ability to alleviate the tissue burden of advanced glycation, rather than the biochemical mechanism by which this is achieved. However, it remains to be determined if it is the reduction in tissue AGE levels per se or inhibition of downstream signal pathways which is ultimately required for end organ pro...
