Common Elements in Rare Kidney Diseases: Conclusions from a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Controversies Conference [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International, 2017
Rare kidney diseases encompass at least 150 different conditions, most of which are inherited. Although individual rare kidney diseases raise specific issues, as a group these rare diseases can have overlapping challenges in diagnosis and treatment ...

Acute Kidney Disease to Chronic Kidney Disease

Critical Care Clinics, 2021
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease are common interconnected syndromes that represent a public health problem. Acute kidney disease (AKD) is defined as the post-AKI status of acute or subacute kidney damage/dysfunction manifested by persistence of AKI beyond 7 to 90 days after the initial AKI diagnosis.

Kidney Disease

Pathology - Research and Practice, 1980
The diagnostic highlights under electron microscopy in hereditary nephropathies and glomerulonephritides are reviewed: Alport's syndrome--lamellation, fragmentation and reticulation of glomerular basement membrane; benign essential (familial) hematuria--glomerular basement membrane thinning; nail patella syndrome--moth eaten holes and collagen like ...

Kidney Disease: Chronic Kidney Disease.

FP essentials, 2021
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 37 million US adults. It is characterized by damage to the renal glomeruli, vascular supply, and/or tubulointerstitium through complex processes involving inflammation, fibrosis, and hyperfiltration. CKD typically is asymptomatic but may be detected incidentally via urinalysis showing proteinuria or blood test ...

Diseases of the Kidneys

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1986
Ultrasound examination offers important diagnostic and prognostic information in renal disease of the horse. Differentiation between acute nephrosis and chronic renal disease can usually be made because of the advanced degree of morphologic change usually prevalent in chronic conditions.

Chronic kidney disease and kidney stones

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2020
Both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney stones are major public health problems, which are closely interrelated. Recurrent kidney stones predispose to CKD although CKD seems to decrease risk of further kidney stone formation. Herein, we review new information of this interrelationship.Several epidemiological studies in the past have shown an ...

Heparanase in Kidney Disease

2020
The primary filtration of blood occurs in the glomerulus in the kidney. Destruction of any of the layers of the glomerular filtration barrier might result in proteinuric disease. The glomerular endothelial cells and especially its covering layer, the glycocalyx, play a pivotal role in development of albuminuria.

Endothelin in kidney diseases

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1994
The role of endothelin in renal physiology and pathophysiology continues to be the subject of intense current research. Further insight into the mechanisms of interaction of endothelin in the kidney has provided a better understanding of its effects on renal hemodynamics and tubular function.

Cystic Disease of the Kidney

Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, 2007
This review focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the development of human renal cystic diseases. A pathological, clinical, and pathophysiological overview is given. Initial analysis of the cell biology of inappropriate hyperproliferation accompanied by fluid secretion of cyst-lining epithelia has been followed by the elucidation of fundamental ...
