Nephropathy is a common diabetes complication. ERRFI1 gene which participates in various cellular pathways has been proposed as a candidate gene in diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the role of +808T/G polymorphism (rs377349) in ERRFI1 gene in diabetic nephropathy. In this case-control study, patients including diabetes with nephropathy (DN=104), type 2 diabetes without neph...

Objectives: Dry Needling (DN) is a novel and effective intervention for patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS). Some characteristics, such as needle penetration depth, needle insertion into the target muscle, and trigger points must be identified in this intervention. The Ultrasound (US)-guided DN is a technique that involves needle insertion at the site of injury and the simulation of ti...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a well-known complication of diabetes and leading cause of chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Currently, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are the standard of care for this disease although trials targeting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system demonstrate that they delay the progressi...

N europathy is a frequent complication of diabetes and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, potentially affecting distal sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves. Sequelae of diabetic neuropathy (DN) include foot ulceration, which can lead to the devastating consequence of lower limb amputation. Accurate and timely detection, characterization, and quantification of DN are critical in order ...

​Background and purpose: Glycation products, oxidative stress, and inflammation contribute to the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN) due to the elevation of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). This study aimed at investigating the effect of Cysteine (Cys) on TGF-β in DN rat model. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four g...

AIMS Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most important causes of chronic renal disease, and the incidence of DN is increasing worldwide. Considering our previous report (Gomes et al., 2014) indicating that chronic treatment with oral low-dose quercetin (10 mg/Kg) demonstrated anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic and renoprotective effects in the C57BL/6J model of DN, we investigated whether this...

Abstract Background Outcomes after renal transplantation have traditionally been poor in systemic amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis and light chain (AL) amyloidosis, with high mortality frequent recurrent disease. We sought to compare outcomes matched transplant recipients autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) diabetic nephropathy (DN), identify factors predictive of outcomes. Methods p...
