Searching for mutations in the HNF1B gene in a Brazilian cohort with renal cysts and hyperglycemia

ABSTRACT Objective To verify the presence of variants in HNF1B in a sample of the Brazilian population selected according to the presence of renal cysts associated with hyperglycemia. Subjects and methods We evaluated 28 unrelated patients with clinical suspicion of HNF1B mutation because of the conc...

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (1), 2019
ABSTRACT Atheroembolic renal disease (AERD) is a kidney manifestation of atherosclerosis as a systemic disease. AERD is defined as a renal impairment secondary to embolization of cholesterol crystals with consequent occlusion of renal vascularization. The current case report describes one patient with mu...

Ramipril can alleviate the accumulation of renal mesangial matrix in rats with diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-1

Acta cir. bras; 34 (1), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the impact of Ramipril (RAM) on the expressions of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and renal mesangial matrix (RMM) in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: The Sprague Dawley rats were divided into normal control (NC) group (n = 12), DN group (n = 11), a...

An experimental study of exenatide effects on renal injury in diabetic rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (1), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of exenatide on renal injury in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into normal control, model, exenatide-1, exenatide-2 and exenatide-3 groups, 10 rats in each group. The diabetic nephropathy model was constr...

Costs of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Brazil and its complications

As Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNT) são as principais fontes de carga da doença no Brasil e em 2010 cerca de 74% das mortes no nosso país foram atribuídas às DCNT. Dentre elas, destaca-se o Diabetes Mellitus (DM), cujo aumento da prevalência em países de baixa e média renda tem caus...

The role of C-peptide in the attenuation of outcomes of diabetic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Preclinical trials have shown that C-peptide may contribute to the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the use of C-peptide in attenuating the outcomes of DKD. Methods: Searches were made on databases PubMed, Web of...

Detección temprana de nefropatía diabética, a propósito de su cribado

INTRODUCCIÓN: La nefropatía diabética constituye la primera causa de enfermedad renal crónica y sustitución de la función renal a nivel mundial sin excepción, esto debido al acelerado deterioro en la función renal sufrido por los pacientes que se mantienen lejos de las metas de control metabólic...

Metformin pretreatment ameliorates diabetic nephropathy induced by a combination of high fat diet and streptozotocin in rats

Int. j. morphol; 36 (3), 2018
Kidney injury secondary to diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure. We sought to determine whether pretreatment with the insulin-sensitizing drug metformin prior to the induction of diabetes can protect the kidney against the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN) induced by a combination o...

Association of different biomarkers of renal function with D-dimer levels in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (renal biomarkers and D-dimer in diabetes)

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the association between different renal biomarkers with D-Dimer levels in diabetes mellitus (DM1) patients group classified as: low D-Dimer levels (< 318 ng/mL), which included first and second D-Dimer tertiles, and high D-Dimer levels (≥ 318 ng/m...
