The authors studied hormonal regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by secretion of insulin, C-peptide in 86 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis with different functional condition of the kidneys. There was a decrease in glucose tolerance, basal and reactive hyperinsulinemia, elevated level of
Exogenous insulin sensitivity as well as the dynamics of blood serum levels of immunoreactive insulin and growth hormone (GH) after oral glucose loading were studied in patients with glomerulonephritis of different clinical manifestations and varying renal functions. A correlation between
It is very well known that carbohydrate metabolism disturbances may affect progression of renal disease in patients with moderate renal insufficiency. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between glucose, insulin and changes of creatinine clearance and proteinuria in patients with
A course of chronic glomerulonephritis is accompanied by carbohydrate metabolic derangement (a decrease in glucose tolerance), change in insulin secretion and the development of relative insulin insufficiency. The revealed changes develop up to the appearance of the clinical signs of chronic renal
Various studies have indicated that chemokines such as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) play an important role in the pathogenesis of primary glomerulonephritis (GN) and other glomerular diseases. Moreover, patients with primary GN display aberrant galactosylation of the O-linked carbohydrate
For the identification of circulating parasite antigens associated with immune-complex glomerulonephritis in dogs infected with Dirofilaria immitis, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated against adult worms. A total of 11 mAbs were selected for cloning because of their high productivity and
The perfusion of polymeric or secretory IgA-Concanavalin A complexes into the aorta of rats led to a mannose-dependent binding of both IgA and lectin to the glomerular capillary wall, as shown by double immunolocalization experiments, by quantitative analysis of the amount of radiolabelled complexes
BACKGROUND
IgA glomerulonephritis (IgAGN) is a kidney disease with variable prognosis. Several known risk factors exist for a more progressive course. Some population studies indicate that moderate alcohol consumption might protect kidney function, but the relationship between alcohol intake and
Leucocytes infiltrate into renal tissue and are involved in the pathogenesis of crescentic glomerulonephritis. The initial event in the process of leucocyte infiltration is characterized by selectin-mediated leucocyte rolling on endothelial surface. Role of selectins in pathogenesis of
We describe the measurement by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of antibody to group A Streptococcus C carbohydrate in immunized rabbits and human sera, with trypsin-pronase-treated group A streptococcal whole cells used as the antigen. The optimal concentration of the enzyme-treated whole cells
We used an ELISA to determine the levels of specific anti-GAS carbohydrate IgG, IgM and IgA in 34 patients with acute rheumatic fever (ARF) with or without carditis, in 15 patients with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) and in 18 control patients with noncomplicated GAS pharyngitis. Patients with ARF
The lack of impressive quantitative differences in antibody to various streptococcal extracellular and cellular antigens among patients with acute rheumatic fever, acute glomerulonephritis, and following uncomplicated streptococcal infection has prompted investigation of qualitative aspects of the
A study was made of the regularities and changes in the fatty acid spectrum of total lipids of the blood serum, in interaction of carbohydrate lipid metabolism, and in the hypophyseal and thyroid system in 92 patients with the nephrotic form of acute and chronic glomerulonephritis. It has been
BACKGROUND
The pathogenesis of IgA glomerulonephritis (IgAGN) involves intense deposition of IgAs within the glomerulus. Although previous studies have shown that heavy drinking frequently leads to the generation of IgA antibodies against neo-antigens induced by ethanol metabolites and tissue
