Liver angiotensinogen is the primary source of renal angiotensin II.
Angiotensin II content in the kidney is much higher than in the plasma, and it increases more in kidney diseases through an uncertain mechanism. Because the kidney abundantly expresses angiotensinogen mRNA, transcriptional dysregulation of angiotensinogen within the kidney is one potential cause of increased renal angiotensin II in the setting of disease. Here, we observed that kidney-specific ...
متن کاملA prospective study of the natural history of idiopathic non-proteinuric hematuria.
In a prospective study of idiopathic glomerulonephritis we determined the natural history of 49 adult patients (12 primary IgA nephropathy, 13 thin GBM nephropathy, 20 normal renal tissue and 4 miscellaneous nephropathies) who presented with idiopathic non-proteinuric non-azotemic hematuria of at least six months duration, in the absence of hypertension and with a negative urological work-up. T...
متن کاملNovel sandwich ELISA for human angiotensinogen.
We recently reported that urinary excretion rates of angiotensinogen (U(AGT)) provide a specific index of intrarenal renin-angiotensin (ANG) system (RAS) status in ANG II-dependent hypertensive rats. When this is shown to be applicable to human subjects, a diagnostic test to identify those hypertensive patients most likely to respond to an RAS blockade could provide useful information to allow ...
متن کاملUrinary Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1) in Renal Transplant Recipients: Implications in Proteinuric Patients
Background: After the first year of transplantation chronic allograft nephropathy is the most important cause of renal graft loss and hypertension and proteinuria occur commonly. In native nephropathies, proteinuria and progression to renal failure are linked and renal tubulo-interstitial fibrosis determines prognosis. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a powerful chemokine promoting...
