Glomerulosclerosis in mice transgenic for human insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Glucocorticoids (GC) represent the mainstay of treatment of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) and might be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. We evaluated basal secretion of cortisol, number and affinity of glucocorticoid receptors, dexamethasone (Dex)-mediated inhibition of concanavalin-A (Con-A...

In analogy to clinical practice in peritoneal dialysis, a fall of r-Kt/V below a threshold of 2.0 per week may indicate inadequate renal toxin elimination. However, there are no...
