Mechanisms of glomerular crescent formation
INTRODUCTION — The presence of crescents in glomeruli is a histologic marker of severe injury. In general, the severity of the renal failure and other clinical manifestations of glomerulonephritis (eg, hypertension, edema) correlates with the percentage of glomeruli that exhibit crescents [1-5]. In addition, the duration and potential reversibility of the underlying disease correspond with the ...
متن کاملGlomerular crescent-related biomarkers in a murine model of chronic graft versus host disease.
BACKGROUND We examined the alterations in gene expression associated with the development of crescentic glomerulonephritis in murine chronic graft-versus-host disease, a model for human systemic lupus erythematosus. METHODS The disease was induced in (C57BL/6 x DBA/2) F(1) hybrids by injection of DBA/2 lymphocytes leading to deposition of auto-antibodies in the glomeruli, and a lupus type of ...
متن کاملPrevention of glomerular crescent formation in glomerulonephritis by mycophenolate mofetil in rats.
BACKGROUND Glomerular crescent formation is a prominent feature of aggressive forms of glomerulonephritis (GN) and is associated with a poor prognosis. We investigated whether the potent immunosuppressive agent mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) could prevent crescent formation in a model of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) GN in the rat. METHODS GN with glomerular crescents was induced by th...
متن کاملThe temporal crescent syndrome.
Retro-chiasmal lesions almost always give rise to homonymous field defects with only one exception. The nasal visual field extends to 60% of the horizon, whereas the temporal field extends to a further 30°-40° beyond that; this part of the visual field is represented on the contralateral anterior parieto-occipital sulcus. A lesion in this area will give rise to monocular visual field defect aff...
متن کاملCrescent Mastopexy with Augmentation
Mastopexy associated with augmentation for small vol ume and mild ptotic breasts has historically challenged plastic surgeons’ creativity. The perfect balance between breast volume, scar, shape, and longlasting results has been the main focus of the work of many authors. Circumareolar, periareolar, and donut mastopexy are different names for a common approach to patients with a ptotic breast....
