Polyomavirus Nephropathy: Quantitative Urinary Polyomavirus-Haufen Testing Accurately Predicts the Degree of Intrarenal Viral Disease
BACKGROUND A qualitative highly predictive urinary test for polyomavirus nephropathy (PVN) is the PV-Haufen test. This article evaluates whether a quantitative PV-Haufen analysis, that is, the number of PV-Haufen shed per milliliter urine, predicts PVN disease grades and the severity of intrarenal PV replication. METHODS Polyomavirus-Haufen were counted in 40 urine samples from patients with ...
متن کاملUrinary Periostin Excretion Predicts Renal Outcome in IgA Nephropathy.
BACKGROUND Periostin is a matricellular protein and plays a vital role in tissue regeneration, fibrosis and wound healing. However, data about its significance in nephrology are limited. We investigated the correlation between urinary periostin excretion and its clinical significance including renal histologic findings and prognosis in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). METHODS Of 399 patients from a gl...
متن کاملPolyomaviruses and disease: is there more to know than viremia and viruria?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Polyomavirus nephropathy (PVN) mainly caused by BK virus (BKV) remains the most common productive viral infection of the kidney. Over the past decade, clinical interest often focused on BK viremia and viruria as the diagnostic mainstays of patient management. The purpose of this review is to discuss viral nephropathy in the context of BK viremia and viruria and new strategies ...
متن کاملUsing Complete Genome Comparisons to Identify Sequences Whose Presence Accurately Predicts Clinically Important Phenotypes
In clinical settings it is often important to know not just the identity of a microorganism, but also the danger posed by that particular strain. For instance, Escherichia coli can range from being a harmless commensal to being a very dangerous enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) strain. Determining pathogenic phenotypes can be both time consuming and expensive. Here we propose a simple, rapid, and inexpe...
متن کاملUrinary Uromodulin Excretion Predicts Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease Resulting from IgA Nephropathy
BACKGROUND Uromodulin, or Tamm-Horsfall protein, is the most abundant urinary protein in healthy individuals. Recent studies have suggested that uromodulin may play a role in chronic kidney diseases. We examined an IgA nephropathy cohort to determine whether uromodulin plays a role in the progression of IgA nephropathy. METHODS A total of 344 IgA nephropathy patients were involved in this stu...
