Statin induced proteinuria: renal injury or renoprotection?

Meticulous blood pressure control, particularly with antiproteinuric medications, such as ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have proven to be effective in slowing the progression of kidney disease and are pillars in the modern management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, despite careful attention to blood pressure lowering and the use of ACEi and/or ARBs, progress...

Diabetic nephropathy: evidence for renoprotection and practice.

Patients with diabetic renal disease have a very bad prognosis. Hyperfiltration, related to poor metabolic control, occurs early on in the disease process. There is also an increase in albumin excretion which can be readily reversed by eVective glycaemic control at clinical diagnosis (fig 1). A phase is then entered during which most patients are normoalbuminuric. However, after approximately 1...

DPP-4 inhibitors-renoprotection in diabetic nephropathy?

There is no doubt that rates of chronic kidney disease are escalating and that this rise is the main contributor to the increasing prevalence of diabetic nephropathy. It is also clear that the increase in kidney failure continues despite tight blood glucose and blood pressure control, as well as renin-angiotensin system blockade. In response, research into novel therapies to treat diabetic neph...

Development of nanoemulsion-based antimicrobial activity of cinnamon prepared with soy protein isolate-lecithin

The objective of the present research was to develop cinnamon oil nanoemulsions using soy protein isolate and lecithin as food grade natural emulsifiers. For this purpose, stable cinnamon oil nanoemulsion (droplet diameter of 141.2 nm) prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of free and nanoemulsified cin...
