OBSERVATIONS ON POSTURAL PROTEINURIA.

Studies on Human Proteinuria. Ii. Some Characteristics of the Gamma Globulins Excreted in Normal, Exercise, Postural, and Nephrotic Proteinuria.

Effects of Folic Acid Supplementation on Proteinuria in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Overt Proteinuria

Objective: An association between high homocysteine levels and proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy has been shown. On the other hand, supplementation with folic acid lowers homocysteine concentration. We have studied the effects of folic acid supplementation on proteinuria in type 2 diabetic patients with overt proteinuria. Materials and Methods: Forty five (29 men and 16 women) type 2 diabe...

Glomerular permeability to high molecular weight dextrans in acute ischaemic renal failure and postural proteinuria.

1. Renal permeability to dextran of a molecular weight range approximating to that of the plasma proteins has been studied in six patients with acute ischaemic renal failure, four patients with postural proteinuria and six healthy subjects. 2. Results are expressed in terms of dextran selectivity indices which relate the clearance of dextran to its molecular weight. Indices of dextran selectivi...

Hereditary proteinuria syndromes and mechanisms of proteinuria.

N Engl J Med 2006;354:1387-401. Copyright © 2006 Massachusetts Medical Society. The inherited forms of proteinuria comprise a heterogeneous group of rare renal diseases in which glomerular dysfunction and proteinuria are prominent. Despite the rarity of hereditary proteinuria syndromes, genetic, biochemical, and structural studies of these diseases have made important contributions to our knowl...

Attentional focus on supra-postural tasks affects postural control.

We examined whether the attentional focus adopted on a supra-postural task has an influence on postural control. Similar to Riley, Stoffregen, Grocki, and Turvey (Human Movement Science 18 (1999) 795), participants were instructed to stand still while lightly touching a loosely hanging sheet with their fingertips. However, instructions varied slightly under two conditions: Participants were eit...
