Book Synopsis Lipids and the Kidney by : William F. Keane
Download or read book Lipids and the Kidney written by William F. Keane and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1997 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, experimental and clinical studies have suggested that dyslipidemia may be an important risk factor for the progression of renal disease. This volume explores in great detail recent advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of this common complication of progressive renal injury. In the experimental investigations presented, emphasis is placed on specific disturbances of lipids that are seen in progressive renal disease including the effects of oxidatively modified lipoproteins and Lp(a) on various functions of the glomerular cells. Clinical studies have identified dyslipidemia as a risk factor for progressive renal disease in diabetes mellitus, various non-diabetic renal diseases, and most recently in patients with progressive renal allograft loss. An emerging interest in the genetics of dyslipidemia has recently arisen and this topic as it specifically relates to progressive renal disease is discussed. The final section of the book offers new insights into the mechanisms of action of antilipemic therapy used in the treatment of dyslipidemia. This volume should be read by all nephrologists caring for patients with progressive renal disease and by physicians interested in the biology of lipids, diabetes and essential hypertension.

Download or read book Uremic Toxins written by Severin Ringoir and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book contains the Proceedings of a two day Symposium on Uremic Toxins organized at the University of Ghent in Belgium. A series of guest lectures, free communications and posters have been presented. An international audience of 163 scientists from 16 nationalities listened to and discussed extensively a spectrum of topics brought forward by colleagues and researchers who worked for many years in the field of Uremic Toxins. There is a striking contrast between all the new dialysis strategies available in the work to "clean" the uremic patients and the almost non-progression of our knowledge on uremic toxins in the past decade. In this sense the symposium was felt by all participants as a new start for the research in the biochemical field of the definition of uremia. If the present volume would stimulate new work in this field in order to define uremia, or identify the uremic toxins, the purpose of the organizers would be maximally fulfilled.

Book Synopsis Lipid Peroxidation by : Harnavi Harun

Book excerpt: Kidney is one of the tissues affected by age that involves cellular and structural changes inside the kidney and notably implicates with comorbidity, related to cardiovascular disease aging. Aging kidney causes the elderly susceptible to clinical deterioration from ordinary stimulation that younger individual can compensate, including acute renal injury, volume depletion or overload, sodium and potassium level disorders, and toxic reaction against kidney excreted drugs. As one of the organs with the fastest aging rate, kidney shows several age-related decline in both structural and functional with 30% of the glomerulus are damaged and represent diffuse glomerular sclerosis by age 75 and explain why the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease are very common in the elderly. The cross-sectional population-based study by The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey supports the theory of age-related decline in kidney function, although some other subjects did not have an absolute decline in kidney function. The underlying molecular mechanisms could be the target of future therapeutic strategies. Aging is a natural biological process characterized by a gradual decline in cellular function as well as progressive structural change of organ systems. In aging kidney, there are interactions of genetic factors, environmental changes, and cellular dysfunction that lead to the typical structural and functional changes. One of the most popular theory of aging is the theory of free radicals or oxidative stress based on the fact that cells are under chronic oxidative stress due to an imbalance between pro oxidants and antioxidants. Reactive oxygen species are oxygen-derived oxidizing compounds that are highly reactive, consisting of free radicals and non-radicals. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) refer to both reactive radicals and non-radical derivatives of oxygen and nitrogen. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) are produced by all aerobic cells and play an important role in aging as well as age-related diseases. Lipid peroxidation is a process of oxidative degradation of lipids that process by which free radicals bind to lipid electrons in the cell membrane resulting in direct cell damage. Lipid peroxidation can cause cellular damage in several ways such as impairing the integrity of the plasma membrane and subcellular organelles by peroxidation, ,Äúchain reaction,Äù of ROS production, and activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) caused by lipid peroxidation. Fatty acids and other PLA2 metabolites (such as lysophospholipids) are known to damage cell membranes. In the development of kidney damage, the process of lipid peroxidation plays an important role. This is presumably due to the large number of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the lipid composition of the kidneys and there are substantial evidence to suggest that ROS is involved in the ischemic, toxic, and immunologically mediated pathogenesis of renal injury, but the cellular mechanisms that result in cell injury and death are still being studied.
Book Synopsis Podocyte Pathology and Nephropathy by : Barbara Lewko
Download or read book Podocyte Pathology and Nephropathy written by Barbara Lewko and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) has advanced considerably in the last few years. Much has been learned about the natural history, the relative lack of significance of microalbuminuria in reflecting underlying pathological change, questionable effects of ACEs and ARBs on the progression of nephropathy, the emergence of new biomarkers such as Cystatin and the role of cytokines, inflammatory molecules and adhesion molecules. Podocytes, the cells with limited ability to replenish and to repair, play a pivotal role in glomerular filtration. In recent years these cells have become the focus for research on pathogenesis of DN as well as other nephropathies. A recent review from the NIH has identified new insights into the pathophysiology, the genetics and the role of the podocytes and some of the important new metabolic pathways such as mTOR or autophagy which may be targeting the podocyte. Knowledge is emerging about the role of podocyte as a part of immune system and about the role of growth factors and cytokines in regulation of podocyte functions. Presented in this e-book articles highlight recent advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of kidney pathology and the role of podocytes in this process.
