Abstract: Objectives: Diabetes is a major disease that causes tremendous economic burden internationally. To tackle this horrible condition, good therapeutic intervention with nutraceutical required. These include diabetic nephropathy, which ranges from chronic kidney to end-stage renal failure. Thus, study used such coenzyme Q10 and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (rosuvastatin) see how beneficial...

Most of the literature focused on proliferative forms lupic Glomerulonephritis. Clinicians are increasingly confronted with cases nephropathy purely mesangial (class II). The aim our study is to describe mode presentation class II Lupus nephropathy, evaluate its evolutionary profile, and investigate possible risk factors for therapeutic misresponse, relapse or histological transformation. This ...

We report membranous nephropathy in a 61-year-old man after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant without chronic graft-versus-host disease. A diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia was made, and the patient received hematopoietic stem cell transplants, twice, from different donors. The first donor was his brother and the second donor was an unrelated man. Human leukocyte antigens between...

INTRODUCTION Oxalate nephropathy has various etiologies and remains a rare cause of renal failure. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of oxalate nephropathy following octreotide therapy. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 78-year-old Caucasian man taking chronic octreotide treatment for acromegaly who presented with acute oxalate nephropathy after antibiotic therapy...

The majority of diabetic patients with renal involvement are not biopsied. Studies evaluating histological findings in renal biopsies performed in diabetic patients have shown that approximately one third of the cases will show pure diabetic nephropathy, one third a non-diabetic condition and another third will show diabetic nephropathy with a superimposed disease. Early diagnosis of treatable ...

Membranous nephropathy is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and can be primary or secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic infection, or drugs. Rapid decline in renal function in patients with membranous nephropathy may be due to renal vein thrombosis, malignant hypertension, or an additional superimposed destructive process involving the renal parenchyma. Crescents are r...

Chromium is nephrotoxic in experimental animals. In subjects with acute chromium intoxication acute nephritis has been reported and renal function has been affected in chromium exposed workers with a high urinary chromium concentration. Chronic kidney disease after long term occupational exposure to chromium has, however, not been reported previously. A case report is presented concerning a 48 ...

Chronic proteinuric renal injury is a major cause of ESRD. Adriamycin nephropathy is a murine model of chronic proteinuric renal disease whereby chemical injury is followed by immune and structural changes that mimic human disease. Foxp3 is a gene that induces a regulatory T cell (Treg) phenotype. It was hypothesized that Foxp3-transduced Treg could protect against renal injury in Adriamycin ne...

Gout is a recurrent inflammation of one or more joints that occurs because of disposal monosodium urate crystals in joints and other structures in soft tissues. Gout is a common metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperuricemia, serum urate levels > or = 360 mmol/1 (> 6.8 mg/ dl), which exceeds the physiological threshold of saturation. Well known complications of gout are tophi, deform...

Immunoglobulin (Ig) A nephropathy is a rare form of canine glomerular disease. This report describes a case of canine IgA nephropathy showing characteristics typical of human IgA nephropathy. An 8-year-old, spayed female Miniature Dachshund showed persistent severe proteinuria without azotemia. She was receiving long-term glucocorticoid therapy due to chronic gastritis and an intra-abdominal su...
