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

[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.
