Genetic factor(s) influence scar formation in experimental pyelonephritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two inbred strains of rat have been identified that show markedly different responses to experimentally induced renal infection. Experiments involving these two strains and their F1 progeny have shown that a genetic factor either protects the host from a tissue-destructive inflammatory response (autosomal dominant gene) or potentiates lesion formation (autosomal recessive gene). The data are the first indication that genetic factors may determine the degree of renal damage in pyelonephritis.

Every Other Day Gentamicin Injection in Experimental Pyelonephritis in Rats: Risk of Scar Formation
Background: Urinary tract infection in children may cause renal scar formation, which can be prevented by early and appropriate treatment. Recent studies showed that single daily injection of gentamycin can produce best effect without increasing the side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of renal scar formation when new regime (every other day gentamicin injection) used fo...

Background and Aim: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common cause of morbidity and mortality especially in young children around the world. Pyelonephritis can lead to scar formation, and subsequent hypertension and renal failure. Interleukins play a major role in renal scar formation following febrile pyelonephritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of urinary interleukin-6 ...

Background: Pyelonephritis can lead to renal scar. Objective: To evaluate the effects of betamethasone in preventing renal scarring in rat model of pyelonephritis. Methods: Sixty three female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into seven groups. Group A was the control. Mannose-sensitive E coli was directly inoculated into the left kidney exposed under general anesthesia in groups C–G. Group B re...
متن کاملRenal scar formation after urinary tract infection in children
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial illness in children. Acute pyelonephritis in children may lead to renal scarring with the risk of later hypertension, preeclampsia during pregnancy, proteinuria, and renal insufficiency. Until now, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has been considered the most important risk factor for post-UTI renal scar formation in children. VUR predisposes child...

Background: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the major etiological factors of permanent kidney impairment, resulting in renal scarring and severe and pernicious side effects, such as arterial hypertension and renal failure. The purpose of this study was to clarify the impression of renal parenchyma involvement by first UTI (on the basis of acute DMSA scan) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR-...
