Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Genotype Prevalence among Egyptian Primary Nephrotic and End Stage Renal Diseases Patients
نویسنده
چکیده
Background:Renin-Angiotensin system is a key regulator of both blood pressure and kidney functions and their interaction. Results:Gene polymorphism appears to be an important genetic determinant in causation and progression of renal diseases. Conclusion:Genotype implicates a strong possible role in the in renal damage among Egyptians. Significance:The Angiotensin converting enzyme-1helps in predetermining the timing, type and doses of therapy for end stage renal disease.

متن کاملACE I/D and MMP-7 A-181G variants and the risk of end stage renal disease
The variants of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and hypertension. We studied the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) and MMP-7 A-181G variants in 99 unrelated ESRD patients and 117 individuals without renal complications from Western Iran with Kurdish ethnic background. The frequency ...

Background: Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) is a Zinc metalloproteinase, converts Ang-I to Ang- II, a pro-inflammatory agent which may contribute to pathophysiology of some diseases like type 2 diabetes. Objective: To investigate the relationship between ACE I/D polymorphism and type 2 diabetes in 261 Iranian casecontrol pairs. Methods: 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetics with nephropathy a...

We present the case of a 32 years old woman with nephrotic range proteinuria. The proteinuria was first detected on a routine medical checkup, at the age of 30 years. She was asymptomatic, reported no relevant past medical history and had normal blood pressure. Her mother died at 52 years old due to an unknown renal disease. Two of her brothers, followed elsewhere, had received kidney transplan...
