Antioxidant properties of repaglinide and its protections against cyclosporine A-induced renal tubular injury
Objective(s): Repaglinide (RG) is an antihyperglycemic agent used for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It has a good safety and efficacy profile in diabetic patients with complications in renal impairment and is an appropriate treatment choice, even for individuals with more severe degrees of renal malfunctions. The aim of the present study was to examine the protective...
متن کاملHuman CD133+ Renal Progenitor Cells Induce Erythropoietin Production and Limit Fibrosis After Acute Tubular Injury
Persistent alterations of the renal tissue due to maladaptive repair characterize the outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI), despite a clinical recovery. Acute damage may also limit the renal production of erythropoietin, with impairment of the hemopoietic response to ischemia and possible lack of its reno-protective action. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a cell therapy using human CD133+ re...
متن کاملMini-review: diabetic renal complications, a potential stinky remedy.
Chronic kidney disease is associated with vasculitis and is also an independent risk factor for peripheral vascular and coronary artery disease in diabetic patients. Despite optimal management, a significant number of patients progress toward end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a suggestion that the disease mechanism is far from clear. A reduction in hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been suggested to pla...
متن کاملParacetamol-induced renal tubular injury: a role for ER stress.
Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) causes acute and chronic renal failure. While the mechanisms leading to hepatic injury have been extensively studied, the molecular mechanisms of paracetamol-induced nephrotoxicity are poorly defined. Paracetamol induced cell death with features of apoptosis in murine proximal tubular epithelial cells. While paracetamol increased the expression of the d...
متن کاملRenal tubular injury associated with anagrelide use.
A 60-year-old man with a 35 year history of Crohn’s disease was diagnosed with essential thrombocytosis (ET) following a unilateral renal artery thrombosis in May 2003. His platelet count at the time of diagnosis with ET was 1.3 million cells/mm. He began taking 0.5mg oral anagrelide twice daily, increasing the dose to 1mg each morning and 0.5mg each evening over the next weeks and, finally, to...
