introduction in children with nephrotic syndrome, it is probable to determine a hypothyroid state because of thyroxine (t4), tri-iodothyronine (t3) and thyroid-binding globulin loss in presence of proteinuria. objectives: to examine thyroid function in pediatric cases of nephrotic syndrome. methods: in a cross-sectional study, from march 2010 to march 2012, thyroid function tests were performed...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: nowadays vitamin d deficiency is a notable medical condition world-wide and also in iran. since, vitamin d can have reoprotective effect by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system; it appears that low vitamin d level can worsen the renal injury in diabetic patients. this study demonstrates the effect of vitamin d 3 therapy on reducing pr...

To the Editor: Proteinuria, a marker of kidney disease, is associated strongly with risk of adverse outcomes, including all-cause mortality. Life expectancy, a measure to estimate health status and disease burden at a population level, has not been reported for patients with different levels of proteinuria. This information could help policy makers recognize the health burden caused by proteinu...

Proteinuria is common after kidney transplantation and typically urine protein levels are below 500 mg/d. However, even these low levels are associated with reduced graft survival. Most allografts with proteinuria >1500 mg/d have new glomerular pathology. In contrast, lower levels of proteinuria are generally associated with nonglomerular, nonspecific histologic changes. The relationship betwee...

the rise in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (ckd) and an increase in the prevalence of obesity in parallel in the recent years is a great concern. ckd increases the rate of cardiovascular disease (cvd) and development of end-stage renal disease, and leads to premature death. although no direct causality link between obesity and ckd can yet be established, this appears highly probable. ...

Background: Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that is identified by signs of nephrosis, severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. It is a component of glomerulonephrosis, in which different degrees of proteinuria may occur. The complications of this syndrome may include blood clots, infections, and high blood pressure. Essentially, decreased protein through the kidneys (proteinuria)...

BACKGROUND Obesity and metabolic syndrome play causative roles in the increasing prevalence of proteinuria in the general population. However, in young adult women the clinical significance of incidentally discovered proteinuria and its association with metabolic syndrome are unclear. We investigated the prevalence and risk factors for proteinuria in this population. METHODS A total of 10,385...

BACKGROUND Hypertension is common, and arterial pressure rhythms are impaired in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Emerging evidence suggests that consideration of excretory function together with proteinuria may provide a more holistic assessment of the extent of derangement in renal function. METHODS To evaluate the independent relationships of estimated GFR and proteinuria with t...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Proteinuria, nearly a universal finding in progressive kidney disease, has been the subject of frequent recent analyses in the renal literature. Proteinuria is a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy: microalbuminuria is the principal early predictor for progression of diabetic glomerulopathy, and proteinuria may be viewed as a measure of the severity and promoter of progression of n...

Objective The objective of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of preeclamptic pregnancies according to the proteinuria level. Study Design Secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study of women with preeclampsia (PE) symptomatology. Nonproteinuria, mild-proteinuria, and massive-proteinuria PEs were defined as: < 165 mg in 12 hours or < 300 mg in 24 hours, 165 mg to 2.69 ...
