BACKGROUND
Children with post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) rapidly recover and have excellent long-term outcomes. After encountering several overweight/obese children with persistent urinary abnormalities during recovery from PIGN, we conducted this retrospective study to determine if
BACKGROUND
This study aimed to describe the influences of larger physical constitutions including obesity on the amount of urine protein excretion (AUPE) in primary glomerulonephritis. The distinct effects on the AUPE in various types of glomerulonephritis were evaluated.
METHODS
Using the database
A kidney and skin biopsy were performed on a patient who developed cryoglobulinemia, polyarthritis, a purpuric skin rash, and acute renal failure four years following jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity. Morphologic studies revealed a diffuse glomerulonephritis characterized by the presence of
There is experimental evidence but very few human studies that suggest a role for obesity in the formation and progression of some glomerular lesions. We report the case of a morbidly obese male with hematuria and proteinuria that was subsequently diagnosed with renal failure which required
Following on from the recently published articles reported side effects occurring due to donation of stem cells, we describe a case of a donor with transient, biopsy-proved acute focal segmental proliferative glomerulonephritis (GN) due to peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) mobilization with
The pattern of glomerulonephritis (GN) in Singapore is compared with that of 19 other countries to review changing trends in the evolution of GN in Asian, Eastern, and Western countries.Three thousand two hundred and eighty-nine renal biopsies in Singapore Gouty arthritis is uncommon in childhood and adolescence. On the other hand, there has been no report of cases with development of gouty arthritis with post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (PSAGN) in pediatric patients. Here we report the case of a mildly obese 12-year-old boy with PSAGN
The New Zealand Obese (NZO) mouse was studied as a potential model for autoimmune diabetes. NZO mice develop obesity, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance, and have low-titer IgM antibodies to the insulin receptor. It is shown that they have circulating antibodies to both native DNA and
The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has risen considerably in the past two decades. This trend is partly due to the alarming rise in the incidence of type 2 diabetes over the same period, which in turn might be linked to the staggering increase in overweight and obesity. If these trends
BACKGROUND
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a disorder characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia without a known predisposing cause.
METHODS
We report a 36-year-old man who had suffered membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in his childhood, later diagnosed with CVID at 35 years of
In spite of the interest for chronic renal diseases (CKD) in pregnancy data on specific diseases is fragmentary; while recent studies analysed the most common glomerulonephritides (GN), none was addressed at GN as a group. The aim of our study was to analyse the main pregnancy-related outcomes in GN
A spontaneously hypercholesterolemic male rat, found in the Sprague-Dawley strain, was mated with normocholesterolemic females of the same strain: the male offspring were hypercholesterolemic. By selecting rats according to their plasma cholesterol levels and repeated brother-sister mating, progeny
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is described by four primary diagnoses, diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and cystic kidney disease, all of which have viruses implicated as causative agents. Enteroviruses, such as coxsackievirus (CV), are a common genus of viruses that have been implicated
Overweight, obesity, and associated diseases represent an emerging problem, not only in Western countries but also in the developing world. They are now characterized as epidemic diseases. Obesity is particularly serious because its incidence in children and adolescents increased dramatically: it is
A 28-year-old woman had hypothalamic disorders (amenorrhea, obesity, psychiatric abnormalities, polydipsia and fever) and chronic glomerulonephritis. She also suffered from general edema associated with cyclical oliguria and polyuria. Her body weight and plasma osmolality increased during the
