The Cure Glomerulonephropathy Network (CureGN) is a 66-center longitudinal observational study of patients with biopsy-confirmed minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, or IgA nephropathy (IgAN), including vasculitis (IgAV). This describes the clinical characteristics and treatment patterns in cohort, comparisons between IgAN versus IgAV adult pediatric patients.Patients diagnostic kidney biopsy within 5 years screening were eligible to join...
Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) risk variants G1 and G2 are known to result in for kidney disease patients of African ancestry. APOL1-associated nephropathy typically occurs association with certain environmental factors or systemic diseases. As such, there has been increasing evidence the role interferon (IFN) pathways pathogenesis collapsing glomerulopathy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection lupus erythematosus, 2 conditions that associated high IFN levels. Collapsing also described...
Some studies have found different distribution patterns for the lipid profile of high altitude populations, having majority them a more favorable one in these subjects. The objective this study is to describe population and relate it waist circumference, body mass index, gender, age. A descriptive was done an adult population, 30 yr old above, town San Pedro de Cajas (SPC), Peru, located at 4100 m (13,450 ft) above sea level. One hundred two representative individuals (38 males 64 females)...
Background: Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome has been described in populations with ethnic and cultural differences. The aim this study was to determine prevalence on a population from Andes Mountains Peru compare it sea-level population. Methods: A cross-sectional subjects aged 30 years old or more high-altitude San Pedro de Cajas (SPC) (13,450 feet) Rimac (331 done. identified according revised National Cholesterol Education Program definition. abnormalities calculated by gender, age,...
Management of blood pressure in children with pheochromocytoma and other catecholamine-secreting tumors (CSTs) is unique challenging. The authors report a single-center experience using sequential α-adrenergic blockade (phenoxybenzamine), increased fluid intake, β-blockade for presurgical management 10 CSTs children. In this retrospective review, mean duration control preparation surgery was 4.5±2.6 weeks. Intraoperative hypertension noted transiently (<2 hours) eight patients (80%) treated...
Prior cross-sectional studies suggest that health-related quality of life (HRQOL) worsens with more severe glomerular disease. This longitudinal analysis was conducted to assess changes in HRQOL changing disease status.Cure Glomerulonephropathy (CureGN) is a cohort patients minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, IgA vasculitis, or nephropathy. assessed at enrollment and follow-up visits 1 3 times annually for up 5 years the Patient-Reported...
BKV and BKVN are common in pediatric kidney transplant, but there is limited data on treatment approaches.
