Direct antiGBM antibody induced alterations in glomerular permselectivity.
The glomerular fixation of anti-glomerular-basement-membrane (antiGBM) antibody is associated with complement activation, neutrophil accumulation, and renal injury. This injury manifests both as an increase in the rate of urinary protein excretion and altered renal hemodynamic characteristics. We have utilized an isolated perfused kidney system (IPK) to assess the capacity of antiGBM antibody t...
متن کاملAnalysis of Glomerular Permselectivity in the Rat Using
Changes in glomerular permselectivity are the physiological basis for proteinuria, which typically accompanies chronic kidney disease. Traditionally changes in the sizerestrictive properties of the glomerular barrier have been quantified by measuring the fractional clearance ( ) of exogenous infused dextrans and interpreting the results using the hindered transport theory for uncharged, solid s...
متن کاملPermselectivity of the glomerular wall examined with iron compound tracer.
Rat kidney endothelial cell morphology was examined after introducing iron colloid particles of positive or negative charge to investigate the relationship between the electric charge and permeation through the glomerular capillary. The kidneys were first perfused with Hanks’ solution through the renal arteries and then with iron colloid particles of positive or negative charge. The iron colloi...
متن کاملANTICONVULSANT THERAPY-INDUCED ALTERATIONS IN CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS
35 epileptic patients, aged 10 to 58 years (mean 23), who were taking anticonvulsant drugs were studied. The patients exhibited a 34% reduction in serum calcium levels, a 41 % increase in serum alkaline phosphatase activity and a slight but insignificant decrease in serum phosphate, compared to untreated controls. These changes appear to be related to the anticonvulsant drug taken, in the ...
متن کاملBreaking down the barrier: evidence against a role for heparan sulfate in glomerular permselectivity.
T he glomerular capillary wall is thought to function as both a sizeand charge-selective barrier. The concept of charge selectivity emerged from a series of now classic studies that used tracers such as dextran, peroxidase, and ferritin to evaluate the influence of molecular charge on glomerular filtration (1–5). The permeability of anionic derivatives of each tracer was lower than their neutra...
