Estimated glomerular filtration rate in the nephrotic syndrome.
BACKGROUND Plasma creatinine concentration and creatinine-based equations are most commonly used as markers of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The abbreviated MDRD formula is considered the best available formula. Altered renal handling of creatinine, which may occur in the nephrotic syndrome, will invalidate creatinine-based formulas. We have evaluated the abbreviated MDRD formula in a large...
متن کاملImpaired glomerular and tubular antioxidative defense mechanisms in nephrotic syndrome.
The molecular mechanisms behind acquired nephrotic syndrome (NS) are still largely unknown. One possible explanation for the development of proteinuria is oxidative damage to the glomerular cells. Our hypothesis was that the oxidative defense is weakened in NS, and we focused on measurements of the oxidative-antioxidative status in the glomerular and tubular parts of the nephron. Gene expressio...
متن کاملPossible role for glomerular-derived angiotensinogen in nephrotic syndrome
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors reduce glomerular injury and proteinuria, indicating that angiotensin II (Ang II) is involved in glomerular diseases. Although the local RAS is reported to play an essential role in maintaining local tissue functions, the role of the local RAS in regulating glomerular function is not well evaluated. In this study, we analyzed th...
متن کاملThe effect of corticotropin (ACTH) on glomerular permeability to albumin in children with the nephrotic syndrome.
Present evidence indicates that proteinuria in patients with the nephrotic syndrome is the result of increased permeability of the glomerular capillary walls to proteins, particularly to albumin (1, 2). A rough indication of the permeability to albumin, relative to permeability to water, is provided by the ratio of the concentration of albumin in glomerular fluid to that in plasma. Assuming tha...
متن کاملGlomerular Lesions and the Nephrotic Syndrome in Rabbits given Saccharated Iron Oxide Intravenously
Intravascular precipitates, comprised at least in part of iron, formed regularly in rabbits given one or more injections of a saccharated iron oxide preparation intravenously, and these lodged in numerous capillaries throughout the body, particularly those of the lungs and kidneys. Large numbers of the brownish precipitates remained in the capillaries of the renal glomeruli during the first few...
