Permselectivity of the glomerular wall examined with iron compound tracer [PDF]
Rat kidney endothelial cell morphology was examined after introducing iron colloid particles of positive or negative charge to investigate the relationship between the electric charge and permeation through the glomerular capillary.

Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease [PDF]
AbstractAntiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare but life-threatening autoimmune vasculitis that is characterized by the development of pathogenic autoantibodies to type IV collagen antigens expressed in the glomerular and alveolar basement membranes.

Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease.
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare small vessel vasculitis that affects the capillary beds of the kidneys and lungs. It is an archetypic autoimmune disease, caused by the development of directly pathogenic autoantibodies ...

What is new in the management of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis? [PDF]
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) results from severe crescentic damage to glomeruli and leads to irreversible kidney failure if not diagnosed and managed in a timely fashion.

Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease: an update on subgroups, pathogenesis and therapies.
Most patients with anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease present with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with or without pulmonary haemorrhage; however, there are several variants and vigilance is necessary to make a correct diagnosis.

Permeation of macromolecules into the renal glomerular basement membrane and capture by the tubules
Significance Human kidneys contain ∼2 x 106 glomeruli that produce ∼180 L per day of primary filtrate. Downstream tubules reabsorb most of the water, salt, and desirable low-molecular weight substances, leaving 1 to 2 L per day of urine containing ...

Myo1e impairment results in actin reorganization, podocyte dysfunction, and proteinuria in zebrafish and cultured podocytes. [PDF]
BackgroundPodocytes serve as an important constituent of the glomerular filtration barrier. Recently, we and others identified Myo1e as a key molecular component of the podocyte cytoskeleton.ResultsMyo1e mRNA and protein was expressed in human and mouse ...
