K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for chronic kidney disease: Evaluation, classification, and stratification

TL;DR: In the early 1990s, the National Kidney Foundation (K/DOQI) developed a set of clinical practice guidelines to define chronic kidney disease and to classify stages in the progression of kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperfiltration in remnant nephrons : A potentially adverse response to renal ablation

TL;DR: In this article, a study was performed in three groups of male Munich-Wistar rats 1 wk after surgery: group I, eight control rats that underwent laparotomy and were fed a normal diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of diabetic glomerulopathy by pharmacological amelioration of glomerular capillary hypertension.

TL;DR: Prevention of glomerular capillary hypertension in rats with diabetes mellitus effectively protects against the subsequent development ofglomerular structural injury and proteinuria, further supporting the view that hemodynamic rather than metabolic factors predominate in the pathogenesis of diabetic glomerulopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in ACTN4, encoding alpha-actinin-4, cause familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that mutations in the gene encoding α-actinin-4 (ACTN4) are the cause of disease in three families with an autosomal dominant form of FSGS, and Regulation of the actin cytoskeleton of glomerular podocytes may be altered in this group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic advantage of converting enzyme inhibitors in arresting progressive renal disease associated with systemic hypertension in the rat.

TL;DR: Control of systemic blood pressure is insufficient to prevent progressive renal injury in rats with reduced renal mass, and failure of triple drug therapy to control glomerular hypertension was associated with progressive proteinuria and glomersular lesions comparable to those seen in untreated group 4 rats.
