1-year mortality following contrast-induced nephropathy [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the 1-year mortality risk subsequent to Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN) following CECT imaging, relative to other well-recognized predictors of mortality.

The emerging role of cellular senescence in renal diseases [PDF]
Cellular senescence represents the state of irreversible cell cycle arrest during cell division. Cellular senescence not only plays a role in diverse biological events such as embryogenesis, tissue regeneration and repair, ageing and tumour occurrence ...

Kidney surveillance in the spotlight: contrast-induced acute kidney injury illuminated [PDF]
Acute kidney injury comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a sudden decrease in renal function over hours to days. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is caused by radiographic contrast agents used in diagnostic imaging.

Dietary interventions to contrast the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy. a critical survey of new data [PDF]
This article is a critical overview of recent contributions on the dietary corrections and the foods that have been claimed to delay or hinder the onset of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and its progression to end-stage renal disease.

Regulation of podocyte survival and endoplasmic reticulum stress by fatty acids and its modification by Stearoyl-CoA desaturases and cyclic AMP [PDF]
Podocyte apoptosis is a hallmark in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Several factors of the diabetic milieu are known to induce podocyte apoptosis. Currently, the role of free fatty acids (FFAs) for podocytopathy and podocyte

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]
Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...

Murine models of renal disease: Possibilities and problems in studies using mutant mice [PDF]
The elucidation of the pathogenesis of human renal disease at the molecular level has been facilitated by the growing field of gene targeting and the development of mouse strains with single-gene deletions - the `knock-out' mice. Experimental nephrology,

[Contrast induced nephropathy]. [PDF]
Contrast media induced nephropathy is a common complication, particularly in high risk patients, such as patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes. The majority of studies show an increased in-hospital mortality and an unfavourable long-term prognosis after manifestation of contrast media induced nephropathy.
