PROTEINURIA FOLLOWING MOMENTARY VASCULAR CONSTRICTION

Proteinuria following Momentary Vascular Constriction.

Heavy proteinuria following urinary diversion.

Two patients are described, both of whom developed heavy glomerular proteinuria in excess of 10 g/24 hr after urinary diversion operations.

Fibrinogen and fragment D-induced vascular constriction.

Elevated fibrinogen (Fg) concentration in blood is a high risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesize that Fg and its early degradation product, fragment D, may result in arterial constriction by binding endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). The vasoconstriction induced by Fg and fragment D was studied in third- and second-order arterioles (3As and 2As, respec...

Heavy proteinuria following dengue hemorrhagic fever.

We report a case of nephrotic range proteinuria with 24-hour urine protein level of 335.7 mg/kg/day which developed following dengue hemorrhagic fever. Due to prolonged hypoalbuminemia from renal loss, right pleural effusion persisted and required pleuracentesis. The patient did not have classical nephrotic syndrome. The proteinuria improved without specific treatment. A renal biopsy was not pe...

Proteinuria: a link to understanding changes in vascular compliance?

Hypertension is a well-known risk factor associated with high cardiovascular risk and kidney disease progression. Proteinuria commonly occurs in concert with hypertension in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The spectrum of albuminuria, from microalbuminaria ( 30 but 300 mg per day) to macroalbuminuria (proteinuria) ( 300 mg per day) is associated with a linear increase in risk of cardi...
