Reduced activity of renal antioxidant enzymes underlies contrast media-induced renal injury
in volume depletion. Oxidant-mediated renal injury has been suggested as an important …

To explore the mechanism of glomerular permselectivity defect in passive Heymann nephritis,
an experimental model of human membranous glomerulopathy, Munich-Wistar rats were …

To clarify the therapeutic role of plasmapheresis (PP) for patients with Henoch-Schönlein
purpura (HSP) nephritis, the clinical courses of nine children with a rapidly progressive type of …

Uremic toxins have been suggested to promote progression of chronic renal failure by
damaging tubular cells. Previous in vitro studies have indicated that some uremic toxins induce …

A direct effect of uraemic toxins in promoting progression of chronic renal disease has not
been established. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of organic anions which …

Acquiring clinical reasoning skills in lectures may be difficult, but it can be learnt through
problem-solving in the context of clinical practice. Problem finding and solving are skills …

Blood pressure-independent effect of angiotensin inhibition on vascular lesions of chronic
renal failure. Previous studies in experimental models of progressive renal failure have shown …

Glucocorticoid activates glomerular antioxidant enzymes and protects glomeruli from
oxidant injuries. We examined the effect of glucocorticoid on intrinsic glomerular antioxidant …

Role for angiotensin II in an overt functional proteinuria. A partial renal vein constriction (RVC)
was induced acutely in Munich–Wistar rats. RVC caused a marked reduction in …
