Molecular and Cellular Events Mediating Glomerular Podocyte Dysfunction and Depletion in Diabetes Mellitus

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
The essential function of the kidney is to ensure formation of relatively protein-free ultra-filtrate, urine. The rate of filtration and composition of the primary renal filtrate is determined by the transport of fluid and solutes across the glomerular ...

Mild and moderate pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease is associated with increased coronary artery calcium. [PDF]

, 2011
BackgroundIt is increasingly evident that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more likely to die from heart disease than kidney failure. This study evaluated whether pre- dialysis CKD is an independent risk factor for coronary artery calcium ...
