  2. 1. α1-microglobulin – Therapeutic opportunities in kidney and erythrocyte pathology

    Author : Amanda Kristiansson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; α1-microglobulin; oxidative stress; kidneys; heme; Red blood cells; hemolysis; radiation;

    Abstract : Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. The reasons behind the condition are diverse, and can result in, or contribute to, the severity of many diseases. The body has different protective mechanisms to reduce the oxidative burden, among them a protein called α1-microglobulin (A1M). READ MORE

  6. 4. Aspects of the glomerular barrier in healthy and diabetic kidneys

    Author : Marie Jeansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : glomerular size and charge selectivity; isolated perfused kidney; electron microscopy; glycocalyx; diabetic nephropathy; NOD mice;

    Abstract : Each day 180 liters of plasma is filtered in the kidneys. Under normal conditions, the glomerular barrier restricts the passage of macromolecules such as albumin while it is highly permeable to water and small solutes. Proteinuria is a hallmark of renal disease and reflects impairment of the glomerular barrier. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bone and kidney effects from cadmium exposure : dose effect and dose response relationships

    Author : Tobias Alfvén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bone; bone mineral density; cadmium; epidemiology; environmental exposure; fractures; heavy metals; human; kidneys; occupationally exposure; osteoporosis; protein HC; tubular proteinuria;

    Abstract : Cadmium is a heavy metal that has been dispersed in the environment during the last century due to human activity. It is well known that high cadmium exposure causes renal damage and in severe cases also osteoporosis and osteomalacia. Osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity worldwide. READ MORE
