Inaccuracy of clinical phenotyping parameters for hypertensive nephrosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Multiple studies suggest that hypertension-induced end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is heritable. Identification of nephropathy susceptibility genes absolutely requires accurate phenotyping, but the clinical hypertensive nephrosclerosis (HN) phenotype is poorly characterized. We hypothesized that many patients with HN as the indicated cause of ESRD on the Health Care Financing Administ...
متن کامل"Benign" hypertensive nephrosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Whether benign hypertensive nephrosclerosis (BHN) causes end-stage renal failure (ESRF) is controversial. One reason for this is the lack of biopsy evidence confirming the clinical diagnosis in most cases. AIM To investigate whether biopsy-proven BHN leads to ESRF. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. METHODS We analysed all cases of biopsy-proven BHN from a single centre over a peri...
متن کاملACE inhibitors and appearance of renal events in hypertensive nephrosclerosis.
Nephrosclerosis constitutes a major cause of end-stage renal disease. Independently of blood pressure control, ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) are considered to be more nephroprotective than other antihypertensive agents. We have reviewed the long-term evolution of renal function in our series of essential hypertensive patients diagnosed as having nephrosclerosis when first seen in our unit. The analysi...
متن کاملHypertensive nephrosclerosis as a relevant cause of chronic renal failure.
It is currently unclear whether hypertensive nephrosclerosis (HN), usually diagnosed solely on clinical grounds, is a relevant cause of end-stage renal disease. We biopsied 81 hypertensive outpatients (blood pressure >/=160/95 mm Hg) with moderate renal insufficiency, who were referred to our service from 1988 to 1998. Patients with known causes of hypertension, systemic disorders, rheumatic di...
متن کاملHypertensive nephrosclerosis: not enough of a good thing?
GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASES (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes that are perhaps best known to participate in cell detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide variety of xenobiotics that have electrophilic centers. Production of these adducts promotes cytoprotection and further increases their subsequent cellular excretion (10). As understanding of these enzymes ...
