Protective effects of curcumin on diabetic nephropathy via attenuation of kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) expression and alleviation of oxidative stress in rats with type 1 diabetes
Objective(s): One of the serious complications of Type1 diabetes (T1D) is diabetic nephropathy, which is accompanied with overexpression of kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and enhanced oxidative stress. The present study was conducted to examine the protective effect of curcumin on the expression of KIM-1, NGAL genes and oxidative damage in...
متن کاملClinical significance of NGAL and KIM-1 for acute kidney injury in patients with scrub typhus
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical significance of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with scrub typhus. METHODS From 2014 to 2015, 145 patients were diagnosed with scrub typhus. Of these, we enrolled 138 patients who were followed up until renal recovery or for at least ...
متن کاملAssessment of kidney function in diabetic patients. Is there a role for new biomarkers NGAL, cystatin C and KIM-1?
PURPOSE Assessment of kidney injury early detection in diabetic patients has great importance for therapy and prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess whether neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C, and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) could represent sensitive markers of kidney function/injury in patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes. MATERIALS AND ME...
متن کاملEmerging Urinary Markers of Renal Injury in Obstructive Nephropathy
The effects of obstruction on renal function are the consequence of many factors that profoundly alter all components of glomerular function. Besides the acute effects on glomerular filtration rate and tubule function, a chronic obstruction induces tubular and interstitial injury that results from the activation of different pathways. The progression of tubulointerstitial injury leads to chroni...
متن کاملReflux and Obstructive Nephropathy Diagnosis of Obstructive Nephropathy
Nevertheless, obstruction rarely can occur without hydronephrosis, when the ureter and renal pelvis are encased in a fibrotic process and unable to expand. In contrast, mild dilation of the collecting system of no functional significance is not unusual. Even obvious hydronephrosis in some cases may not be associated with functional obstruction [70]. Diuresis renography is helpful when the funct...
