Objective(s): The current study was designed to investigate the therapeutic and protective effects of montelukast (ML) against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced acute kidney damage in rats.Materials and Methods: Thirty-five Wistar albino female rats were randomly divided into 5 groups as follows: Group I: Control; Group II: Control+ML; Group III: DOX; Group IV: DOX+ML; Group V: ML+DOX. At the end of th...
Glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial injury are characteristic features seen in the subtotal (5/6) nephrectomy remnant kidney model in the rat. Oxidative stress from renal mass reduction contributes to the glomerular and tubular injury. Previous studies have clearly demonstrated the prevention or inhibition of such injury by an antioxidant such as alpha-tocopherol. However, few data are av...
In patients with progressive podocyte diseases, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranous nephropathy, there is enhanced expression of transforming growth factor (TGF-β) in podocytes. Biomechanical strain in these diseases may cause overexpression of TGF-β and angiotensin II (Ang II) by podocytes. Oxidative stress induced by Ang II may activate the latent TGF-β. Increased TGF-β ...
BACKGROUND Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a kidney disease that is manifested as the nephrotic syndrome. It is often resistant to glucocorticoid therapy and progresses to end-stage renal disease in 50 to 70% of patients. Genetic studies have shown that familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a disease of the podocytes, which are major components of the glomerular filtration barrie...
BACKGROUND AND METHODS In order to examine the clinical outcome of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) superimposed on diabetic glomerulosclerosis in type 2 patients we studied 36 Chinese patients (26 men, 10 women), who were recruited for renal biopsy when they had proteinuria of more than 1 g/day. Twenty-seven had isolated diabetic glomerulosclerosis and nine had IgAN superimposed on diabetic glomeruloscl...
Schimke immune-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder presented with specific facial features, skeletal dysplasia, steroid resistance nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and cellular immune insufficiency. This is a SIOD case reported from Iran. He was 5 years old boy when evaluated for proteinuria and short stature. In appearance, we detected hyperpigmented macules, kyphosc...
In this review, I introduce the strategy developed by our laboratory to explore the mechanisms of renoprotection against progressive glomerulosclerosis leading to renal death. First, I describe the experimental rat model in which disturbances of vascular regeneration and glomerular hemodynamics lead to irreversible glomerulosclerosis. Second, I discuss the possible mechanisms determining the pr...
BACKGROUND Polyneuropathy organomegaly endocrinopathy M-protein skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare cause of polyneuropathy. Calciphylaxis, a severe disease leading to necrotic ulcers of the skin, is associated with POEMS syndrome and also with renal disease. This case report describes a patient with POEMS syndrome plus primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 27-ye...
Nodular glomerulosclerosis may be idiopathic or develop associated with diabetes mellitus, membranoprolipherative glomerulonephritis, light or heavy chain deposits, amyloidosis, fibrillary or immunotactoide disease, and Takayasu's arteritis. Histological features of idiopathic nodular glomerulosclerosis are similar to the Kimmelstiel-Wilson changes. Recent evidence points to the role of hypergl...
