The most common causes of CKD are high blood pressure anddiabetes, "which damage the small blood vessels and filtering units in the kidneys over time," says Nagata. Other potential causes he points to include immune system disorders or recurrent kidney infections. "In children,birth defectsimpacti...
Disease burden and risk profile in referred patients with moderate chronic kidney disease: composition of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) cohort. Background A main challenge for targeting chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the heterogeneity of its causes, co-morbidities and outcomes. Patients...
Stage 1: This occurs within 30 minutes to 12 hours of poisoning, and causes drunkenness, excessive urination and thirst, drooling, vomiting, and even seizuring. Stage 2: This occurs within 12-24 hours post-exposure, as clinical signs from Stage 1 seem to “resolve.” However, during this...

The intra-renal dopamine (DA) system is highly expressed in the proximal tubule and contributes to Na+ and blood pressure homeostasis, as well as to the development of nephropathy. In the kidney, the enzyme DOPA Decarboxylase (DDC) originating from the circulation. We used a twin/family study...
Chronic renal failure (CRF), also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD), is among the leading causes of death among felines and is considered a serious threat to dogs as well. It is a degenerative condition that often goes undetected until most of the damage has already been done. Kidney...
SH3RF1 as regulators of synaptic growth responses, it is a novel nexu slinking activity of TGF-β and JNK signaling via TAK1 (TGF-β–activated kinase 1), a JNK kinase kinase (JNKKK) essential for synaptic overgrowth in Rab8 mutants53, this may be one of the causes of frontotemporal ...
Prevalence and Causes of AKI The condition is usually caused by other illnesses that reduce blood flow to the kidney (such as low blood pressure, blood loss, heart attack, or organ failure), or due to toxicity arising from some medicines. ...
A team from the University of Edinburgh found that patients with AKI had increased blood levels of endothelin - a protein that activates inflammation and causes blood vessels to constrict. Endothelin levels remained high long after kidney function had recovered. ...
