Lipopheresis in the nephrotic syndrome [PDF]

Kidney International, 1999
Experimental models have established a role for lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of progressive renal failure. However, conventional treatment rarely normalizes the high serum cholesterol of the nephrotic syndrome. The removal of low-density lipoprotein by lipopheresis is discussed.Lipopheresis may be beneficial in nephrotic patients with focal ...

Emerging Role of SH3BP2 as Regulator of Immune and Nonimmune Cells in Nephrotic Syndrome

Glomerular Diseases
Background: Minimal change disease (MCD) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are major forms of nephrotic syndrome that remain difficult to treat. MCD and FSGS have distinct but also overlapping clinical, histological, metabolic, and

Emerging Role of Myeloperoxidase in the Prognosis of Nephrotic Syndrome Patients Before and After Steroid Therapy [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015
Background: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a myelocyte derived iron containing enzyme particularly involved in host defense by destroying foreign micro organisms invading the body. Numerous evidences suggest that MPO is involved in the pathogenesis of many

Hydroxychloroquine Associated with Lower Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) protects kidney function in lupus nephritis (LN) by preventing flares, yet some cohort studies show no significant benefit in kidney function with HCQ. Clarifying these conflicting findings by showing early and long‐term benefits of HCQ on kidney function preservation is critical. Therefore, we analyzed data from our

Microneedles From Shape‐Preserving Crosslinked Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogels: Minimising Interference in Transdermal Proteomics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐forming microneedle patches are developed using shape‐preserving PVA‐PVP hydrogels, with and without chitosan, for minimally invasive transdermal protein biomarker sampling. The optimised patches enable efficient interstitial fluid uptake and proteomic analysis, while minimising interference.

Binding of bromocresol green and bromocresol purple to albumin in hemodialysis patients [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Colorimetric albumin assays based on binding to bromocresol purple (BCP) and bromocresol green (BCG) yield different results in chronic kidney disease. Altered dye binding of carbamylated albumin has been suggested as a cause.
