Urinary CD80 excretion increases in idiopathic minimal-change disease.
CD80 is expressed on all antigen-presenting cells and is present on podocytes in a number of experimental models of nephrotic syndrome. We tested whether urinary soluble CD80 increased with idiopathic minimal-change disease (MCD). We collected urine and serum samples from patients with MCD in relapse and in remission, patients with nephrotic syndrome resulting from other glomerular diseases (FS...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of C5b-9 reflects disease activity in passive Heymann nephritis.
Passive Heymann nephritis (PHN) is a model of membranous nephropathy in rats in which glomerular injury is mediated by the terminal C5b-9 membrane attack complex of complement. This model has been shown to be associated with markedly elevated urinary excretion of C5b-9, compared to other experimental models of glomerulonephritis To determine if urinary C5b-9 excretion could serve as an index of...
متن کاملGlomerular Disease
The treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) has been a matter of discussion for many years. Given the variable clinical course and potential toxicity of current regimens, the main issue nephrologists face at the moment are who to treat and with what regimen. Conservative management is justified for patients with subnephrotic proteinuria, inasmuch as spontaneous remission occurs mor...
متن کاملVisceral fat reflects disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
PURPOSE Response to infliximab treatment diminishes as body mass index (BMI) increases in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The purpose of the study was to determine if diminished response to infliximab treatment in patients with AS could be associated with increased visceral adipose tissue rather than increased BMI. METHODS Twenty six AS patients (21 males and five females) who fulf...
متن کاملFatigue in rheumatoid arthritis reflects pain, not disease activity.
OBJECTIVE We determined the amount of fatigue experienced by patients with RA, and its relationship to synovitis, pain and other common clinical features. We also examined to what extent RA fatigue is improved by disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. METHODS We studied two cohorts of 238 and 274 RA patients cross-sectionally and examined...
