The Proximal Tubule and Albuminuria [PDF]
Recent data highlight the role of the proximal tubule (PT) in reabsorbing, processing, and transcytosing urinary albumin from the glomerular filtrate. Innovative techniques and approaches have provided exciting insights into these processes, and numerous investigators have shown that selective PT cell defects lead to significant albuminuria, even ...

Stx2 Induces Differential Gene Expression and Disturbs Circadian Rhythm Genes in the Proximal Tubule
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) causes proximal tubular defects in the kidney. However, factors altered by Shiga toxin (Stx) within the proximal tubules are yet to be shown.

TNF-α induces Claudin-1 expression in renal tubules in Alport mice
Claudin-1 (CL-1) is responsible for the paracellular barrier function of glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PEC) in kidneys, but the role of CL-1 in proximal tubules remains to be elucidated.

The Fanconi syndrome of cystinosis: insights into the pathophysiology
Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease, and is one of the most common causes of the Fanconi syndrome. In vitro studies of the cystine-loaded tubule provided insights into the pathophysiology of the proximal tubular defect.

Drug-Induced Nephrotoxicity: A Review [PDF]
Background: Nephrotoxicity is referred to as rapid degeneration in kidney functioning due to the toxic effects of medications. The glomerulus and proximal renal tubule are the fundamental portions of the nephron to be affected by drugs leading to ...
