Acute glomerulonephritis in children.
Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) remains fairly common in the developing world although its frequency has declined in the industrial countries. The pattern of AGN was studied in one hundred hospitalised children. We recorded an increased prevalence in school age, i.e., 6-15 years (75%) and the occurrence of a streptococcal infection (90%), most often a pharyngeal infection (86%), one to three wee...
متن کاملOxidative Stress in Children With Allergic Rhinitis
Background: Oxidative stress may play a role in the pathophysiology of several diseases including allergic rhinitis. Objectives: To evaluate whether plasma total oxidant status (TOS) in the form of plasma reactive oxidants differs between children with allergic rhinitis and healthy controls and to investigate associations between plasma antioxidants and other allergic rhinitis–related immunolog...
متن کاملOxidative stress in children with Down syndrome
Elevated oxidative stress in Down syndrome due to elevated levels of superoxide dismutase 1 can be assessed by estimating the products of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde and protein carbonylation .The present study included 31 clinically diagnosed and karyotypically confirmed Down syndrome children with equal number of age and sex matched controls. The levels of malondialdehyde (6.1 ± 2.5 μm...
متن کاملNT-proBNP Levels in Children with Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is the most common prototype of acute glomerulonephritis in children, and is characterized by the sudden onset of gross hematuria, edema, hypertension and volume overload. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is produced in both the brain and the heart. Its prohormone, proBNP, is cleaved to biologically active BNP and an inactive N-terminal peptide ...
متن کاملOxidative stress in the pathogenesis of experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly believed to be important intracellular signaling molecules in mitogenic pathways involved in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis (GN). We explored the effects of the antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid and N-acetyl-l-cysteine on ERK activation in cultured mesangial cells and the role of ERK activation in the severity of glomerular injury in a rat mod...
