1. Pathomechanism of diabetic nephropathy
Sammanfattning : Diabetic nephropathy is today the most common cause of end stage renal failure. The risk for developing overt diabetic nephropathy is considerably reduced by antihypertensive treatment, and adequate control of blood glucose. However, there is a need for additional and even more efficient tools to prevent this complication of diabetes. LÄS MER
2. Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology in Central America and Sri Lanka : renal morphology and clinical characteristics
Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem. The most common etiologies of CKD are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis, but over the last several decades a high prevalence of CKD of unknown etiology (CKDu) has been reported from rural communities in some tropical countries, including Central America, and Sri Lanka.

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. A Podocyte view on RhoGTPases and actin cytoskeleton regulation
Sammanfattning : Proteinuria is a hallmark symptom of chronic kidney disease, that if left to persist constitutes a risk for progression of disease. Symptomatic treatment aiming at decreasing proteinuria is therefore standard practice. LÄS MER
5. Role of extracellular retention of platelet-derived growth factor-B. Functions in development and disease
Sammanfattning : During development, the cell secretes growth and differentiation factors (GDFs) to the surrounding microenvironment. These factors are often key regulators of organogenesis and embryogenesis. Several GDFs carry sequences that mediate specific interaction with molecules of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that surrounds the cell. LÄS MER
