Importance of Genetic Diagnostics in Adult-Onset Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis.

abstract：:Gastrointestinal infection with verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) has been strongly implicated in the etiology of the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), the leading cause of pediatric acute renal failure. The binding of fluorescein-conjugated VT1 overlaid on to frozen human renal sections has been examined. Se...

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIM:Interleukin-6 (IL-6) promotes the growth of renal mesangial cells. IL-6 may play a major role in such mesangial proliferation, but there has been little research on IL-6 in relation to diabetic nephropathy because of the difficulty in measuring urinary and serum IL-6 levels. Using a newly developed, high...
