BACKGROUND Australian Aborigines in remote areas are experiencing an epidemic of renal disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Adult deaths are increased 3- to 6-fold, and renal failure more than 20-fold. Renal disease is marked by albuminuria. We describe its distributions and correlations in two remote communities in the Northern Territory. METHODS Observations i...

BACKGROUND Modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) immune complexes (IC) have proinflammatory properties and play a role in albuminuria development. METHODS We measured oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and advanced glycation end-product (AGE)-LDL in IC isolated from sera of Type 1 diabetic subjects followed for 14-20 years and studied their association with abnormal albuminuria. Patients with albumin excr...

Of course, albuminuria was the characteristic finding in Bright’s disease and was the cause of the ‘coagulable urine’. The prognostic importance of albuminuria was first recognized in diabetic nephropathy in which changes in albuminuria usually precede the decline in renal function. However, albuminuria provides prognostic information in all causes of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) an...

conclusions although we found an association between myh9 gene polymorphism and urinary albumin excretion, the results did not show a significant association between myh9 polymorphism (rs4821481) and risk of dn in iranian diabetic patients. background myosin heavy chain 9 (myh9) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in different types of renal disease, as well as in nephropathy attributed to ...

This study was to explore the association between thyroid dysfunction and albuminuria. 581 cases with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were included in this study. The clinical characteristics consisted of sex, age, serum creatinine, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), thyroid function were recorded. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by CKD-EPI four-level race equati...

BACKGROUND Sodium intake and albuminuria have important roles in blood pressure and renal progression. Although their relationship has been reported, the results have not been consistent and all studies have examined small populations. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the role of the estimated 24-h urinary sodium excretion as a marker of sodium intake and albuminuria. DESIGN This investiga...

BACKGROUND To assess the relations between albuminuria and selected cardiovascular risk factors. MATERIAL/METHODS The study population comprised 200 apparently healthy soldiers aged 28.8±8.1, observed for 36 months. RESULTS Albuminuria was revealed in 9% of the studied group at the beginning of the study and in 12.7% at the end of the observation. Albumins increased from 97.0±61.0 mg/24 hou...

background: early diagnosis of albuminuria and the prevention of its progression to macroalbuminuria and diabetic nephropathy are crucial. angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (aceis) and antagonists of angiotensin ii receptors type i (arbs) are currently used as first-line treatment for albuminuria in these patients. the present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of addition of spi...
