Reflux and Obstructive Nephropathy Diagnosis of Obstructive Nephropathy
Nevertheless, obstruction rarely can occur without hydronephrosis, when the ureter and renal pelvis are encased in a fibrotic process and unable to expand. In contrast, mild dilation of the collecting system of no functional significance is not unusual. Even obvious hydronephrosis in some cases may not be associated with functional obstruction [70]. Diuresis renography is helpful when the funct...
متن کاملThe pathophysiology of IgA nephropathy.
Here we discuss recent advances in understanding the biochemical, immunologic, and genetic pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy, the most common primary glomerulonephritis. Current data indicate that at least four processes contribute to development of IgA nephropathy. Patients with IgA nephropathy often have a genetically determined increase in circulating levels of IgA1 with galactose-deficient O-...
متن کاملPathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnoea.
The pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is complex and incompletely understood. A narrowed upper airway is very common among OSA patients, and is usually in adults due to nonspecific factors such as fat deposition in the neck, or abnormal bony morphology of the upper airway. Functional impairment of the upper airway dilating muscles is particularly important in the development of ...
متن کاملReflux and Obstructive Nephropathy
Reflux nephropathy, or renal parenchymal scarring associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), is an important cause of renal failure. Some studies have shown that in up to 10% of adults and 30% of children requiring renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease, reflux nephropathy is the cause of the renal failure. Reflux nephropathy is thought to result from the combination of VUR of ...
متن کاملObstructive nephropathy and renal fibrosis.
Interstitial fibrosis has a major role in the progression of renal diseases. Several animal models are available for the study of renal fibrosis. The models of aminonucleoside-induced nephrotic syndrome, cyclosporin nephrotoxicity, and passive Heyman nephritis are characterized by molecular and cellular events similar to those that occur in obstructive nephropathy. Additionally, inhibition of a...
