Characterization Of Large Rearrangements In Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease And The Pkd1/Tsc2 Contiguous Gene Syndrome
(Nature Publishing Group, 2008)
Large DNA rearrangements account for about 8% of disease mutations and are more common in duplicated genomic regions, where they are difficult to detect. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease ( ADPKD) is caused by ...
Kaposi Sarcoma In A Paediatric Renal Transplant Recipient
(Oxford Univ Press United Kingdom, 1996)
Vasculitis In Children
(Oxford Univ Press, 2015)
Primary systemic vasculitides of the young are relatively rare diseases, but are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly if there is diagnostic delay. We provide an overview of paediatric vasculitides ...
The Position Of The Polycystic Kidney Disease 1 (Pkd1) Gene Mutation Correlates With The Severity Of Renal Disease
(Amer Soc Nephrology, 2002)
The severity of renal cystic disease in the major form of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) is highly variable. Clinical data was analyzed from 324 mutation-characterized PKD1 patients (80 families) to ...
Nutritional Assessment Of Children On Haemodialysis: Value Of Igf-I, Tnf-Alpha And Il-1 Beta
(Oxford Univ Press, 1998)
Background. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) has proved to be a sensitive marker of malnutrition, ...
Association of Nitric Oxide Production and Apoptosis in A Model of Experimental Nephropathy
(Oxford Univ Press, 2001)
Background. In recent studies increased amounts of nitric oxide (NO) and apoptosis have been implicated in various pathological conditions in the kidney. We have studied the role of NO and its association with apoptosis ...
Vasculitis: Do We Know More To Classify Better?
(Springer, 2015)
The systemic vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the inflammation of blood vessels. The development and implementation of advanced diagnostic tests and genetic studies have resulted in ...
