Perinatal nephropathies.
The purpose of this paper is to review the development of the mammalian kidney and to assess the influence that various perinatal manipulations may have on the developmental process either morphologically or functionally. Immature kidneys in general have less functional capacity than adult kidneys and a low rate of glomerular filtration, perhaps related to renal blood flow, which appears to lim...
متن کاملStudy of direct immunofluorescence, immunofluorescence mapping and light microscopy in porphyria cutanea tarda.
BACKGROUND Even though porphyria cutanea tarda is the most frequent type of porphyria, there are few studies about its cutaneous physiopathology. OBJECTIVE To evaluate skin changes in porphyria cutanea tarda using light microscopy and direct immunofluorescence before and after treatment with chloroquine. To perform antigen immunomapping of bullae to study their level of cleavage. METHODS Li...
متن کاملAcute and chronic toxic nephropathies.
Toxic nephropathies manifest morphologically as glomerulonephritides, vasculitides, tubular necrosis, and acute or chronic tubulointerstitial disease. The most common toxicity is acute interstitial nephritis owing to hypersensitivity. However, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and necrotizing angiitis secondary to heroin abuse, membranous glomerulopathy owing to gold, penicillamine and captopr...
متن کاملProcesses of Fibrogenesis in Glomerular Nephropathies
Progressive renal disease is associated with the development of fibrosing lesions in the glomerulusglomerulosclerosis, and in the interstitiuminterstitial fibrosis. The mechanisms involved in this processes are shared by the inflammatory cells and the resident cells: glomerular mesangial cell, interstitial fibroblast, tubular epithelial cell and vascular smooth muscle cell. These resident cells...
متن کاملTreatment of HIV-Associated Nephropathies
In patients with HIV, the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy has improved life expectancy. At the same time, this increase in life expectancy has been associated with a higher frequency of chronic kidney disease due to factors other than HIV infection. Besides HIV-associated nephropathy, a number of different types of immune complex and non-immune complex-mediated processes have been i...
