  2. 16. Ultrastructural studies of the blood-urine barrier in proteinuric states

    Author : Fredrik Dunér; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The kidneys filter enormous amounts of blood every day, removing excess fluid and waste products while retaining cells and large proteins in the circulation. The podocytes with their foot processes and slit diaphragms (SD) are important components of the renal filter and the barrier function. READ MORE

  4. 17. A Podocyte view on RhoGTPases and actin cytoskeleton regulation

    Author : Lovisa Bergwall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Podocyte; RhoGTPases; Actin cytoskeleton regulation;

    Abstract : Proteinuria is a hallmark symptom of chronic kidney disease, that if left to persist constitutes a risk for progression of disease. Symptomatic treatment aiming at decreasing proteinuria is therefore standard practice. READ MORE

  5. 18. Renal dysfunction in orthopaedic surgery - with special reference to drug effects in the elderly

    Abstract : Total hip replacement (THR) is a common procedure, generally performed in elderly persons. Previous studies indicated that the use of isoxazolyl penicillins could induce a transient post-operative renal dysfunction in these patients. READ MORE

  6. 19. Physiological aspects of the glomerular filtration barrier

    Author : Kristinn Sverrisson; Njurmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Proteinuria is associated with progression of kidney disease and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiological alterations resulting in proteinuria are obscure, although proteinuria is often associated with pathological changes in the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). READ MORE

  7. 20. Renal function and renal histopathology in assessment of course and prognosis in Henoch Schönlein nephritis and IgA nephropathy

    Author : Stella Edström Halling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Henoch Schönlein Nephritis (HSN) is a common childhood vasculitis that generally has a self-limiting course but the long-term outcome varies with the clinical picture at onset. Morbidity is high among the most severe cases, and therefore there is a need for intervention. READ MORE
