  2. 1. Membranous Nephropathy - Challenges in diagnostics and treatment

    Author : Jennie Lönnbro-Widgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glomerulonephritis; Membranous nephropathy; Proteinuria; Phospholipase A2 receptor; Cancer; End-stage renal disease;

    Abstract : The variability in the pathogenesis, clinical presentation and outcome of membranous nephropathy (MN) poses major clinical challenges and raises different questions, both regarding diagnostics and treatment of patients with MN. The aims of this thesis were therefore to examine: 1) differences in the glomerular expression of different IgG subclasses and phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) between patients with idiopathic and malignancy-associated MN; 2) treatment pattern of patients with idiopathic MN; and 3) if the serum PLA2R antibody level at diagnosis can be used as a prognostic marker.

  6. 4. Intratumoral Predictive Markers in Metastatic Renal Cancer Patients

    Author : Marjut Niinivirta; Gustav Ullenhag; Gunilla Enblad; Sten Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Renal cell cancer; predictive marker; tyrosine kinase inhibitor; tissue microarray; cubilin; annexin A1; PKLR; ELTD1; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : There is no established predictive marker for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patients. With a predictive marker, patients unlikely to respond could be selected upfront and offered other therapy options. Thereby, unnecessary toxicity could be avoided and costs would be reduced.

  7. 5. B cell depleting therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus

    Author : Thórunn Jónsdóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus; Lupus nephritis; B cells; rituximab;

    Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by multiple organ involvement, production of a wide range of autoantibodies and local formation or tissue deposition of immune complexes in the affected organs. Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and serious organ involvement in patients with SLE. READ MORE
