Abstract Introduction Increasing evidence indicate that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is companied by renal dysfunction. However, the association of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-induced dysfunction with prognosis remains obscure. Materials and methods All 154 patients COVID-19 were recruited from Second People’s Hospital Fuyang City in Anhui, China. Demogra...

It is well known that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, studies have shown that cardiovascular event rates and allcause mortality increase as a function of CKD as determined by decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate and presence of microalbuminuria. In recent years, the term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) has been proposed t...

background: in recent years, the success in management of thalassemic patients, has allowed for some previously unrecognized complications including renal abnormalities to emerge. this prospective study aimed to investigate kidney iron overload by means of mri t2* and also renal function based on laboratory tests for early markers of glomerular and tubular dysfunction among adult iranian transf...

background: calcineurin inhibitors (cni) have significantly reduced the incidence of acute rejection. nephrotoxicity however may contribute to long-term allograft dysfunction. mycophenolate mofetil (mmf) may allow cyclosporine (csa) dose reduction without increasing the risk of rejection. methods: in seventy-eight living unrelated kidney transplant patients with renal dysfunction, we studied th...

Endothelial dysfunction has been considered in the pathogenesis of obesity widespread population. The purpose this review was to provide updated information about pathogenetic features and markers endothelial obese patients. We mentioned systemic disorders obesity, such as oxidative stress, an increase pro-inflammatory cytokines – tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, arginase activity. a...

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare but potentially lethal autoimmune disorder with progressive renal dysfunction in a short time span, which is accompanied with or without pulmonary hemorrhage. Serologic test shows positive anti-GBM antibodies, and extensive crescent formation in the renal biopsy, usually without multinucleated giant cells. Our study presents a case ...

introduction antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (anca)-associated glomerulonephritis (gn) is characterized by necrotizing and crescentic gn with paucity of immunoglobulin (ig) and complement deposition, which is also known as pauci-immune crescentic gn. membranous nephropathy (mn) is characterized by the formation of subepithelial immune deposit with resultant changes in glomerular basement ...
