Renal injury in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients may be related to a combination of factors including chemotherapy, radiation, infection, immunosuppressive agents, ischemia, and ...

The application of molecular techniques to characterize clinical kidney biopsies has the potential to provide insights into glomerular diseases that cannot be revealed by traditional renal pathology.

Using the model, the researchers showed that neutrophils upregulate Glut1 expression and function in the nephritic kidney. Glut1 not only transports glucose into cells in the kidney, but it also plays ...

Patients with moderate to severe diabetic glomerulosclerosis had higher risks. The presence and severity of diabetic glomerulosclerosis appear to be important factors in the prognosis of patients with ...

Each kidney is made up of approximately one million glomeruli. These filter nitrogenous wastes (like urea and creatinine) from the blood, passing through the tuft of capillaries that make up a ...

Glomerular disease in LN is a dynamic process with the potential for glomerular lesions to transform from one pattern to another. 1-4 Adjacent glomeruli may show different degrees of involvement. The ...

In a new study, researchers have discovered a connection between inflammation in the areas of interstitial fibrosis and ...

Glomerulonephritis (glo·mer·u·lo·ne·phri·tis) is a word used to describe a spectrum of kidney diseases that result in damage of glomeruli due to inflammation, infection of the functional units of ...

The identification of the glomeruli as the source of bleeding is important. Patients with clear evidence of glomerular hematuria do not need to be evaluated for potentially serious urologic disease.

"Medical Journeys" is a set of clinical resources reviewed by doctors, meant for physicians and other healthcare professionals as well as the patients they serve. Each episode of this journey through ...

Targeting and disabling a certain protein essential to transporting glucose properly through cells (Glucose Transporter 1, or Glut1) could be a new way to fight kidney disease, according to a study ...
