1. Illness, symptoms and causes of nephrotic syndrome
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Nephrotic syndrome in children : functional, morphological and therapeutical aspects
Sammanfattning : Although cure rates of the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children have improved because of advances in immunosuppressive therapy, the pathogenesis and course of the disease remain controversial. We have followed children with nephrotic syndrome to study renal function and morphological changes in kidney biopsies and in an experimental study. LÄS MER
3. The role of melanocortin 1 receptor in kidney disease
Sammanfattning : Nephrotic syndrome is a term describing a group of poorly understood glomerular diseases that are responsible for a steadily increasing number of patients requiring active uremic care. Characteristic symptoms of nephrotic syndrome are proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and peripheral edema, and treatment of these symptoms, rather than their cause, is currently the only option available to the clinician.

4. Podocyte Melanocortin 1 Receptor Mediated Signaling : A potential new target for patients with kidney diseases
Sammanfattning : Treatment of patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) is currently unspecific and directed at ameliorating the symptoms rather than eliminating the cause. NS is actually a multitude of glomerular diseases characterized by poorly understood disease mechanisms and symptoms that include proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and edema. LÄS MER
5. Physiological and morphological aspects of the glomerular barrier in health and disease. Results based on experimental studies in the rat
Sammanfattning : Tremendous amounts of fluid are filtered every day through the kidneys. The anastomosing capillary loops surrounded by Bowman s capsule, forming the glomerulus, function in accordance with the interplay between the hydrostatic and the colloid osmotic pressure. The result of the action of these mechanisms is the production of primary urine. LÄS MER
