Histological changes of kidney in diabetic nephropathy
Authors
Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of chronic renal disorders and end-stage kidney disease in developed countries. It is the major cause of dialysis and transplantation. Failure in renal function causes wide disorders in the body. Diabetes results in wide range of alterations in the renal tissue. It is believed that early histological changes in diabetic nephropathy are detectable 2 years after diabetes is diagnosed. The glumerular alterations are the most important lesions in the diabetic nephropathy (DN). The Renal Pathology Society provides a new pathological classification for the detection of histopathology of DN. It divides diabetic nephropathy into four hierarchical glomerular lesions. Alloxan or streptozotocin induced diabetic rat is the one most widely used specie to study DN. Histological changes in the rat DN closely resemble the human disease and the most information of this review was obtained through the study of rat DN. All cell types of the kidney such as mesangial cells, podocytes and tubulointerstitial cells are liable to be affected in the event of DN. Severity of renal lesions is associated to the clinical aspect of renal outcome, but the aim of this article was only to review the histological changes of kidney in diabetes mellitus.

full textEarly Renal Histological Changes in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats
Diabetes mellitus is a progressive disease. Most investigators have focused on glomerular changes in diabetic kidney and non-glomerular alterations have been less attended. The present study has been conducted to find early non-glomerular histological changes in diabetic renal tissue. Twenty male Wistar rats weighting 200-250 g were used for the diabetic group. Diabetes mellitus was induced by ...
full textPotential Therapeutic Effect of TLR4-Primed Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Lessening Kidney Damages in Rat Model of Diabetic Nephropathy
Background and Aims: Substantial damage to the kidney tissue and diabetic nephropathy (DN) can be caused by chronic hyperglycemic conditions and exposure to a high level of blood glucose. In the current study, we explored the capability of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and Toll-like receptor-4-primed mesenchymal stem cells (TLR4-primed MSCs) on kidney regeneration, resolution ...
full textRole of kidney ADP-ribosyl cyclase in diabetic nephropathy.
The role of ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPR-cyclases) in diabetic nephropathy was investigated. ADPR-cyclases synthesize cADP-ribose (cADPR), a Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger, and are stimulated by G protein-coupled receptors. We have previously reported that ADPR-cyclases can be activated by ANG II and showed that a specific kidney ADPR-cyclase inhibitor, 4,4'-dihydroxyazobenzene (DHAB), can pr...
full textEffect of antihypertensive treatment on kidney function in diabetic nephropathy.
The effect of long term, aggressive antihypertensive treatment on kidney function in diabetic nephropathy was studied prospectively in 11 insulin dependent diabetics (mean age 30). During the mean pretreatment period of 32 (range 23-66) months the glomerular filtration rate decreased significantly and albuminuria and the arterial blood pressure increased significantly. During the 72 (range 32-9...
