Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and soluble VEGF receptor FLT-1 in diabetic nephropathy.

abstract：:Hemodialysis adequacy can be quantified using ultraviolet absorbance of the spent dialysate, or by analysis of dialysate conductivity at the dialyzer inlet and outlet in response to changes in dialysate electrolyte concentration. These measurements can be made at every dialysis, including initial and acute treatments ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Proteinase 3 is the major autoantigen in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). Membrane PR3 expression is bimodal; low expressing cells (mPR3(low)) can be distinguished from cells with high expression (mPR3(high)) within a given individual. High mPR3 expression is a WG risk factor and is associated with relapse. Ho...
