Translational nephrology: what translational research is and a bird's-eye view on translational research in nephrology
The ultimate aim of biomedical research is to preserve health and improve patient outcomes. However, by a variety of measures, preservation of kidney health and patient outcomes in kidney disease are suboptimal. Severe acute kidney injury has been treated solely by renal replacement therapy for over 50 years and mortality still hovers at around 50%. Worldwide deaths from chronic kidney disease ...
متن کاملTranslational Nephrology RAS meets SLE ∗
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of glomerular diseases. To delineate more precisely the role of RAS in creating renal injury, knockout mouse strains lacking the angiotensin type 1 or type 2 receptors (AT1 and AT2) have proven very informative. Hence, in their elegant study that was published in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of Clinical Invest...
متن کاملTranslational Nephrology A Crry for polar shedding
Renal ischaemia plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of acute renal failure. This ischaemia is also the primary factor in radio-contrast nephropathy, kidney transplantation and the progression of various kinds of chronic kidney diseases. Ischaemic renal failure is associated with the loss of tubular epithelial cell polarity [1,2]. This change in cell polarity has multiple functional sequela...
متن کاملTranslational Nephrology Renin inhibition and atherosclerosis∗
Angiotensin II (Ang II) has long been considered the major bioactive effector molecule of the renin–angiotensin system and is recognized as a major contributor to hypercholesterolaemia-induced atherosclerosis [1,2]. LDLreceptor-deficient and apoE-deficient mice have been intensively investigated in this regard. Chronic Ang II infusions in such mice accelerate atherosclerosis and promote aneurys...
متن کاملTranslational Antidote Research: A Bedside to Bench Tale
Although antidote development should proceed in an orderly fashion from observation, to experimental and safety studies, to clinical trials, this sequence is not always precisely followed. The development of fomepizole as an antidote for toxic alcohol and glycol poisoning is an example of how this may not be the case. Interest in the development of fomepizole was spurred in the 1960s. Shortly t...
