Acute 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 کاملMechanisms of progression and regression of renal lesions of chronic nephropathies and diabetes.
The incidence of chronic kidney diseases is increasing worldwide, and these conditions are emerging as a major public health problem. While genetic factors contribute to susceptibility and progression of renal disease, proteinuria has been claimed as an independent predictor of outcome. Reduction of urinary protein levels by various medications and a low-protein diet limits renal function decli...
متن کاملChronic toxic nephropathies--diagnosis and management.
As a result of industrial and medical progress, man is exposed to an ever changing array of chemicals, drugs and biological products. The kidneys are extremely vulnerable to chronic toxic effects of these substances. Although acute renal failure, nephrotic syndrome and renal tubular disorders result from acute nephrotoxicity, chronic renal failure with renal failure and hypertension result from...
متن کاملOsteoprotegerin predicts progression of chronic heart failure: results from CORONA.
BACKGROUND Osteoprotegerin (OPG) may be implicated in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF), and circulating levels predict survival in patients with postinfarction HF. Our primary goal was to determine whether OPG provided independent prognostic information in patients with chronic HF, and to examine its potential interactions with statin therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS OPG as a risk factor fo...
