results the prevalence of micro and macroalbuminuria was 17.2% and 17.6%, respectively. microalbuminuria was significantly associated with longer diabetes duration, increased fasting plasma glucose, and diastolic blood pressure. it was also found that higher plasma glucose and bun (blood urea nitrogen) were risk factors for macroalbuminuria. conclusions prevalence of both micro- and macroalbumi...

conclusions our findings indicate that fenofibrate (ppar-α agonist) is able to prevent dn progression and improve kidney performance during chronic uncontrolled hyperglycemia possibly through increase in no bioavailability of kidney. results fenofibrate did not change the blood glucose of normal or diabetic rats. diabetes increased the proteinuria (82%) and blood creatinine of diabetic rats (4....

The authors present the results of follow-up observations children that had undergone neonatal nephropathy. A observation revealed newborns from mothers with chronic kidney diseases are at risk for development nephropathies. long-term positive examination who underwent nephropathy and received a course anti-relapse treatment proved effectiveness renal protection.

Chronic diabetes mellitus is associated with various complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, vasculopathy, dermatopathy and encephalopathy. Nephropathy is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus, and the morbidity and mortality due to diabetic nephropathy is constantly progressing in industrialized nations. Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels in patients with diabetic nephropathy, analyse the relationship between 25(OH)D and clinical indexes, and identify risk factors for vitamin D deficiency in diabetic nephropathy. METHODS Patients with diabetic nephropathy were sequentially enrolled and grouped according to diabetic nephropathy stage. Serum 25(OH)D levels were...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The burden of nephropathy is unequally shared across patients with diabetes. The majority of the variability in incident nephropathy remains unaccounted for by conventional risk factors. There appears to be an inherited predisposition for diabetic nephropathy, but this does not follow simple Mendelian rules. Any inherited predisposition for nephropathy is far more complicated....

objective: in patients with diabetes mellitus, increased rate of lipoprotein oxidation and oxidative stress have important role in diabetic angiopathy, including nephropathy. we designed a study for comparing the level of ox-ldl in diabetic patients with macro-albuminuria, micro-albuminuria, versus normo-albuminuric. materials and methods: one hundred and thirty five patients with type 2 diabet...

conclusions cu, zn and cr play a specific role in the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy. meanwhile in these patients, low serum levels of cu, zn and cr were not associated with factors such as drinking water. possible causes should be sought in other factors like urine, intervention factors in absorption and utilization and individual conditions. results mean ± sd levels of zn, cu and cr ...

objectives this report describes the indication, histopathological patterns, and epidemiology of renal diseases in children in india. patients and methods this is a single-center study on renal biopsies performed between january 2008 and december 2013 in 346 children (age ≤ 14 years). results eleven (3.17%) biopsies were inadequate, and 335 biopsies were considered for analysis. the mean age wa...

objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate the renal protective effect of adenanthera pavonina (a. pavonina) seed aqueous extract (apsae), in streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: the renal protective effect of a. pavonina seed aqueous extract (apsae) was studied in stz-induced diabetic rats. apsae (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg per day) was given daily to d...
