How does proteinuria cause progressive renal damage?
The possibility that proteinuria may accelerate kidney disease progression to end-stage renal failure has received support from the results of increasing numbers of experimental and clinical studies. Evidence indicating that this process occurs through multiple pathways, including induction of tubular chemokine expression and complement activation that lead to inflammatory cell infiltration in ...
متن کاملCalcitriol ameliorates renal damage in a pre-established proteinuria model
Proteinuria is critical in the tubulointerstitial changes that ultimately lead to renal insufficiency. Increased protein filtration has direct toxic effects on tubular epithelial cells, leading to epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) to a myofibroblast phenotype. Angiotensin II and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 are the main mediators of EMT. Calcitriol may exert a potential renoprotect...
متن کاملRenal accumulation of pentosidine in non-diabetic proteinuria-induced renal damage in rats.
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic glomerulopathy. The role of AGEs in non-diabetic renal damage is not well characterized. First, we studied whether renal AGE accumulation occurs in non-diabetic proteinuria-induced renal damage and whether this is ameliorated by renoprotective treatment. Secondly, we investigated whether renal AGE accum...
متن کاملMelatonin ameliorates oxidative stress, inflammation, proteinuria, and progression of renal damage in rats with renal mass reduction.
The progressive deterioration of renal function and structure resulting from renal mass reduction are mediated by a variety of mechanisms, including oxidative stress and inflammation. Melatonin, the major product of the pineal gland, has potent_antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and its production is impaired in chronic renal failure. We therefore investigated if melatonin treatment ...
متن کاملRenal damage associated with silicon compounds in dogs.
A number of oral preparations of various forms of silicon were fed to young adult Beagle dogs and young rats of both sexes for a period of four weeks. During the test period the animals were observed for clinical symptoms and urine and blood measurements were made. At the end of the experimental period all animals were sacrificed and subjected to a complete necropsy and histopathologic study. P...
