Abstract Glycaemic therapy in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is focused on insulin, with the majority of studies investigating different insulin preparations, delivery devices and dosing accuracy methods. While insulin deficiency is the key mechanism for hyperglycaemia in T1D, individuals with this condition can also develop insulin resistance (IR), making ...

Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) leads to tissue hypoxia resulting in chronic organ dysfunction including SCD associated nephropathy. The goal of our study was to determine the best equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in SCD adult ...

Glomerular hyperfiltration is an important mechanism in the development of albuminuria. During hyperfiltration, podocytes are exposed to increased fluid flow shear stress (FFSS) in Bowman’s space.

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,

The ‘nephrotoxins’ were stopped: what is in a name and its impact on kidney and cardiac health?
Abstract The term ‘nephrotoxin’ is often imprecisely applied to medications that are not inherently toxic to the kidneys, including renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system inhibitors, sodium‐glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors, diuretics and metformin. These drugs are frequently included in ‘sick day rules’ and may be prematurely discontinued during acute

Increased life expectancy of thalassemia patients has a consequence of various manifestations of the diseases in many organs including kidney. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) can be used for detecting early renal dysfunctions due to the fact ...

Relevance of single nephron studies to human glomerular function [PDF]
Over the past decades, the search for clues to the understanding of renal function and disease has led to the ongoing development of innovative laboratory techniques to approach these questions on the single nephron level.

Deletion of diacylglycerol-responsive TRPC genes attenuates diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting activation of the TGFβ1 signaling pathway [PDF]
TRPC6 plays a critical role in proteinuric kidney diseases, and TRPC3 is involved in tubulointerstitialdamage and renal fibrosis in obstructed kidneys. Podocyte loss is a characteristic event in diabetic nephropathy(DN).

Mind the gap: connexins and cell–cell communication in the diabetic kidney [PDF]
Connexins, assembled as a hexameric connexon, form a transmembrane hemichannel that provides a conduit for paracrine signalling of small molecules and ions to regulate the activity and function of adjacent cells.

Nierenfunktion und nephronsparende Operationstechnik: Nephrologische Sicht [PDF]
Das Nierenzellkarzinom ist ein häufiger Tumor, welcher mit zunehmendem Alter vor allem bei Männern auftritt. Eine steigende Inzidenz wird in den letzten Jahren festgestellt, vor allem wegen der Zunahme von radiologischen Untersuchungen, im Rahmen ...
