Diabetic glomerular disease: pitfalls in diagnosis
also reported in their series of 25 HIV-positive patients presenting with proteinuria, 2 patients with cryptococcal renal infiltration. The patient described in the case report had evidence of macroalbuminuria and tubular dysfunction as evidenced by significant urinary sodium loss on the 24-h urine specimen. This may be attributable to both glomerular and tubulo-interstitial cryptococcal invasi...
متن کاملTargeted glomerular angiopoietin-1 therapy for early diabetic kidney disease.
Vascular growth factors play an important role in maintaining the structure and integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier. In healthy adult glomeruli, the proendothelial survival factors vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and angiopoietin-1 are constitutively expressed in glomerular podocyte epithelia. We demonstrate that this milieu of vascular growth factors is altered in stre...
متن کاملEvaluation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimating Formulas in Diabetic Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Objective: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As extremely accurate methods of GFR measurement (i.e. Inulin clearance) are expensive and Time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the GFR measurement. Here we have ...
متن کاملThe Association of Glomerular Filtration Rate with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus can influence coronary artery disease (CAD) independently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and CAD in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM). Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study evaluated 3624 T2DM patients with clinical presentation of CAD whose documents were registe...
متن کاملMeasurement of glomerular charge selectivity in non-diabetic renal disease.
BACKGROUND Until now, the renal clearance index of IgG to IgG4 (IgG/IgG4) as well as pancreatic to salivary amylase (PA/SA) were separately used as parameters of renal charge selectivity in diabetic and non-diabetic albuminuria. The suitability of the IgG index may be questioned because urinary loss of IgG rather reflects a size selective defect. In contrast, the amylase index seems more approp...
