A Review of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Ochratoxin A Inhalational Exposure Associated with Human Illness and Kidney Disease including Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ochratoxin A (OTA) exposure via ingestion and inhalation has been described in the literature to cause kidney disease in both animals and humans. This paper reviews Ochratoxin A and its relationship to human health and kidney disease with a focus on a possible association with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in humans. Prevention and treatment strategies for OTA-induced illness are also discussed, including cholestyramine, a bile-acid-binding resin used as a sequestrant to reduce the enterohepatic recirculation of OTA.

متن کاملOptimal management of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in adults
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a frequent glomerular kidney disease that is revealed by proteinuria or even nephrotic syndrome. A diagnosis can be established from a kidney biopsy that shows focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. This histopathological lesion may be caused by a primary podocyte injury (idiopathic FSGS) but is also associated with other pathologies (secondary FSGS...
متن کاملCollapsing Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Resulting from a Single Dose of Zoledronate
Bisphosphonates are commonly used for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma and hypercalcemia. Collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is known to occur uncommonly with exposure to bisphosphonates, specifically pamidronate and alendronate; it has rarely and equivocally been reported with zoledronate therapy. We describe the case of a 36-year-old African A...

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a glomerulopathy primarily caused by podocyte injury that leads to focal adhesions formation between the glomerular tut and the visceral layer of Bowman capsule (1,2). h e global incidence of FSGS has been estimated at 8 cases/million/year, with 40-60% of patients developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within 10 to 20 years at er diagnosis (3,4). ...
