The Podocyte in Diabetic Kidney Disease

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2009
Approaching epidemic levels, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is now the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Microalbuminuria is an early clinical marker of DKD that results from damage to the glomerular filtration barrier at the level of the ...

The effect of the association between CETP variant type and alcohol consumption on cholesterol level differs according to the ALDH2 variant type

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Alcohol consumption is associated with a high increased lipid profile and this association may depend on genetic risk factors. In this study, we aimed to assess the effects of genetic variation associated with alcohol consumption on lipid profiles using ...

Blockage of the lysosome-dependent autophagic pathway contributes to complement membrane attack complex-induced podocyte injury in idiopathic membranous nephropathy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Dysregulation of autophagy-mediated podocyte homeostasis is proposed to play a role in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). In the present study, autophagic activity and lysosomal alterations were investigated in podocytes of IMN patients and in ...

Serum klotho level as an indicator for predicting the progression of renal function in chronic kidney disease stages 3~5

open access: yesDi-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2020
Objective To investigate the association of serum klotho level with renal function deterioration and whether serum klotho level can be used as a predictor of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) into renal end point events.

AMP-activated protein kinase α2 contributes to acute and chronic hyperuricemic nephropathy via renal urate deposition in a mouse model

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research, 2022
Hyperuricemia can induce acute and chronic kidney damage, but the pathological mechanism remains unclear. The potential role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α2 in hyperuricemia-induced renal injury was investigated in this study. Acute and chronic

Hydroxychloroquine administration exacerbates acute kidney injury complicated by lupus nephritis

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been recommended as a basic treatment for lupus nephritis (LN) during this decade based on its ability to improve LN-related renal immune-mediated inflammatory lesions.
