In myeloma of any type, the production of the other normal immunoglobulins is suppressed. Thus, in IgG kappa myeloma, the normal levels of IgM and IgA will be abnormally low, while the IgG levels are elevated. Less common, but still prevalent, are IgA-producing myeloma cells. IgM myeloma i...
Scores were slightly elevated in all mice 1 week after BMT due to radiation toxicity, but returned to baseline at 2 weeks after BMT and remained within normal range thereafter in both [wt → wt] and [wt → II–/–] chimeras. This systemic illness proved lethal in the majority of animals...
Patients with each of the five aforementioned disorders often have their initial kidney stone episode in the first decade of life. Recurrent stones, particularly in pre-pubertal children, should alert the physician to the possibility of an inborn error of metabolism as the underlying cause. Nephroca...

Although the proband had CKD, his HDL maintained an elevated cholesterol efflux capacity compared with HDL of the normolipidemic control (Fig. 4b), whereas the antioxidative activities of total HDL and small, dense HDL3c were similar between the proband and the normolipidemic control subject (...
formation is associated with a wide variety of diseases, and the hereditary monogenic forms of human amyloidoses, although rare, provide unique insight into mechanisms of protein misfolding and fibrillogenesis as recently highlighted by the discovery of the amyloidogenic variant of β2-microglobulin14...
Consistent with the increased focus score in the young heterochronic compared to young isochronic groups, the young heterochronic gland showed elevated levels of Ifng and Ciita. Figure 3. Gene expression analysis of lacrimal glands identifies B cell and inflammatory marker expression differences across ...
The ECG and blood pressure are normal or slightly elevated in almost all patients [26]. In agricultural communities around the world, histological studies of chronic interstitial nephritis have revealed proximal tubular atrophy, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, an inflammatory response, and thickening and ...
