Beneficial effects of systemic immunoglobulin in experimental membranous nephropathy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:While metabolically generated oxidants are produced locally in experimental glomerular diseases, little is still known of their significance and the respective scavenger systems in human glomerular diseases. METHODS:Here we studied kidneys from patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type...
