A POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM HOMOCYSTEINE LEVEL AND IgA NEPHROPATHY IN CHILDREN

Relationship between Serum Homocysteine and Other Parameters in Overt Diabetic Nephropathy

OBJECTIVE: Level of serum homocysteine is remarkably common among patients with moderate to sever renal failure. We assessed whether serum homocysteine concentrations were correlated with proteinuria in overt diabetic nephropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 45 patients (29 males, 16 females) with overt proteinuria. All subjects had type 2 diabetes. Data i...

Relationship between serum IgA level and allergy/asthma

BACKGROUND/AIMS Mucosal immunoglobulin A (IgA) may prevent the entrance of allergens. This study examined the relationship between serum IgA levels (within the normal range) and sensitization to house dust mites (HDM) or airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). METHODS The clinical records of 1,136 adult patients with suspected asthma, for whom test data for serum IgA level and methacholine-AHR wer...

Relationship between serum IgA/C3 ratio and progression of IgA nephropathy.

OBJECTIVE The serum IgA/C3 ratio might be considered to serve as a diagnostic marker for patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), but its value as a marker of the severity of histological lesions or prognosis is unknown. METHODS We studied the serum IgA/C3 ratio, using standardized reference material, in 86 patients with IgAN and in 32 with non-IgAN. The patients with IgAN were divided according...
