Studies of EHEC and the complement system in renal diseases
… pathogenesis and clinical course of specific renal diseases hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and dense deposit disease (DDD). HUS may be associated with infection caused by Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) or with complement dysfunction due to complement mutations or auto-antibodies …

Clinical Presentation and Histopathological Description of the Spectrum of Renal Diseases in HIV Infected Adults Presenting With Renal Insufficiency at the University Teaching Hospital,Lusaka Zambia
Introduction: The spectrum of renal diseases in HIV infected adults undergoing biopsy is vast. Previous studies have indicated that HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is the commonest diagnosis in HIV-infected patients presenting with renal insufficiency. More than 90% of patients with HIVAN are …

The structural and functional characterisation of the PLAT domain of polycystin-1
… by the progressive development and expansion of renal cysts, which eventually replace the normal architecture of the kidney and lead to kidney failure. (Harris 1999) ADPKD is a common cause of end-stage renal failure. It accounts for 5-8% of patients in haemodialysis units worldwide. It also has …

T-type calcium channels and human mesangial cell proliferation
… in the pathogenesis of mesangioproliferative renal diseases. The T-type calcium channel (T-CaCN) has been proposed to play an important role in the proliferation of a number of non-excitable cell types, but T-CaCN expression and functional significance in MC is not known. The aim of this …

Development of a Mathematical Model of Renal Function for Clinical Application
… to calculate total and differential effective renal plasma flows which are compared to standard PAH clearance tests. A blood-to-urine flow index, defined in this research using these parameters, and a cortex-to-medulla transit is also used to evaluate various renal diseases surgically induced …

The Use Of Multiple Saliency Techniques As an Explanation Interface In General Image Recognition
… of AI that can diagnose cancer, narcolepsy, renal diseases, and cardiac damage abound, yet these machines have to be implemented into clinical settings. Although predictively powerful, these diagnostic machines are powered by Deep Convolutional Neural Networks that operate as virtual black- …

The evaluation of a predialysis class on client knowledge and attitude toward compliant behaviours
… as proscribed. Thirty-eight End Stage Renal Diseases (ESRD) clients were self-selected into the treatment or control groups. Both groups received the standard predialysis education from members of the multidisciplinary renal team. In addition, the treatment group also attended the …

Assessing cognitive dysfunction in the hemodialysis population
Patients with end stage renal diseases (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis treatment experience cognitive impairment due to a variety of risk factors; most of which stem from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the dialysis process itself. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in cognitive …

Modulation of TGFβ-Induced PAI -1 Expression by Changes in Actin Polymerization in Human Mesangial Cells
<p>Chronic renal diseases show increased deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the glomerulus (glomerulosclerosis). Glomerulosclerosis is associated with activation of normally quiescent glomerular mesangial cells into myofibroblast-like cells. The overall objective of this study is to …

Role of Occludin in the Regulation of Epithelial Tight Junctions
… of many gastrointestinal, pulmonary and renal diseases. Occludin is the major transmembrane protein of TJ, a deletion of which leads to a complex phenotype including chronic inflammation in several epithelial tissues of occludin deficient mice and poor TJ integrity in epithelial cell …

The Effect of Withdrawal of Angiotensin II Blockers on Serum Creatinine and Potassium in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
… been used to delay the progression of various renal diseases, but these medications cause hyperkalemia and the elevation of serum creatinine which impede the continuation of the medications. So far, there have been no data which observe the changes of serum creatinine or serum potassium after …
