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...
متن کاملEffects 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...
متن کاملSeasonal proteinuria changes in IgA nephropathy patients after proteinuria remission
BACKGROUND Proteinuria is a powerful prognostic factor for end-stage renal disease in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients. However, it is not known whether proteinuria exacerbations are related to seasonal changes. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients diagnosed with IgAN by kidney biopsy at our hospital between 2002 and 2014. Proteinuria remission was defined as urinary protei...
متن کاملReduction and residual proteinuria are therapeutic targets in type 2 diabetes with overt nephropathy: a post hoc analysis (ORIENT-proteinuria).
BACKGROUND Proteinuria is a major predictor for progression of renal disease, including diabetic nephropathy. In a post hoc analysis of the ORIENT, a double-blinded randomized trial of 566 type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy, we examined the risk association of composite renal outcome [end-stage renal disease, ESRD, doubling of serum creatinine (SCr) and death] with baseline, change and r...
متن کاملProteinuria as a mortality risk.
This case report examines the factors involved in the mortality risk of low-grade proteinuria. Proteinuria and microalbuminuria are defined and the use of the protein-creatinine ratio is discussed. Studies from the medical literature suggest that albuminuria complements risk selection in diabetics and nondiabetics and may parallel or adversely modify other cardiovascular risk factors.
