... the metabolic risk factors and main renal outcomes: renal function loss and albuminuria/proteinuria. This review includes prospective studies and clinical trials. A total of 44 studies were analysed in 1,700 subjects with renal disease (2–5), including patients with renal transplantation. Most studies did...

... renal prognosis. However, some patients can develop proteinuria and progressive kidney dysfunction in the long term. Most patients with TBM are heterozygous for pathogenic variants in genes encoding for both the α3 and α4 chains of collagen IV, a major constituent of GBM. Such variants are responsible...

Besides kidney electrolyte loss, proteinuria and renal dysfunction were also observed...

...Ali Mollataheri; Marzieh Mojbafan; Rozita Hosseini; Nakisa Houman; Mohammad Mousavi; Hasan Otoukesh Introduction: Dent’s disease is an X-linked inherited renal tubular disorder characterized by proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, rickets, and end-stage renal disease...

... kidney donation. She developed postdonation nonnephrotic range proteinuria and microscopic hematuria. Given the risk of biopsy with a solitary kidney, genetic testing was performed and revealed autosomal dominant Alport syndrome. Our case underscores the utility of genetic testing. Hopefully, future...

... to different disease courses, FD can be divided into classical and nonclassical phenotypes. The nonclassical FD phenotype is always absent of characteristic symptoms, which makes identifying it challenging. This article presents a 49-year-old man with a 10-year history of proteinuria and decreased glomerular...

... thinning of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) associated with a novel heterozygous variant in the LMX1B gene. A 43-year-old female patient with a previous diagnosis of NPS, referred to our hospital for persistent proteinuria, underwent a renal biopsy, which revealed minor glomerular abnormalities. She...

..., data were from 541 participants enrolled in the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE), between 2010 and 2019, at 23 sites across North America. Blood pressure, lipids, and kidney disease outcomes including complete proteinuria remission, kidney failure, and chronic kidney disease progression were...

... with proteinuria and renal function in ADPKD. Methods: Fifty-six patients with ADPKD and 28 volunteers were enrolled to study. Podocin, podocalyxin protein levels, and proteinuria were measured in urine. Patients were categorized based on their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Results: Patients...

... that might be related to mortality. Results: The prevalence of hematuria alone and in combination with proteinuria was 11.6 and 5.1%, respectively. C-reactive protein was a significant factor associated with the presence of hematuria (OR [95% CI] 1.17 [1.03–1.34], p = 0.0194). The cumulative mortality...

... TaqMan SNP-genotyping-assay. Results: MMP-9 ( Gln 279 Arg) AA-genotype (OR 0.17 [0.04–0.62, p = 0.008]) and the time elapsed since diagnosis of T2D without onset of proteinuria (OR 0.87 [0.79–0.97, p = 0.008]) were found to be independently associated with reduced risk of susceptibility to DN...

... therapy (ART), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients have a drastically improved prognosis but at the same time they are also more affected by non-HIV related complications, such as chronic kidney disease. The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of proteinuria and tenofovir...

... is acute tubulointerstitial nephritis. We examined the type and kinetics of urine protein excretion and prognostic significance of proteinuria for the severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute PUUV infection. Methods: The amount of dipstick albuminuria at hospital admission was analyzed in 205...

.... Demographic data and clinical data at baseline and month 3 of treatment with CP were assessed. Results: The proportion of patients with remission (both CR and PR) was 82.4%, over an average follow-up duration of 15 (10-27.5) months. Fifty-two of them experienced a CR. Baseline proteinuria and the reduction...
