glomerulopathy

Samoyed hereditary glomerulopathy, a disease shown to be a model for Alport syndrome.

Glomerulopathy is a set of diseases affecting the glomeruli of the nephron.

The histomorphologic differential diagnosis includes transplant glomerulopathy and thrombotic microangiopathies.

Because the term glomerulitis exists for inflammatory conditions, glomerulopathy sometimes carries a noninflammatory implication.

This finding has led to the suggestion that anemia-induced hyperfiltration in childhood is the principal cause of the adult glomerulopathy.

Membranous glomerulopathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which are two other diseases of the kidney.

Transplant glomerulopathy, abbreviated TG, is a disease of the glomeruli in transplanted kidneys.

In addition, however, the use of ACE inhibitors has been associated with improvement of the hyperfiltration glomerulopathy.

However, transplant glomerulopathy is not specific for chronic antibody-mediated rejection; it may be the result of a number of disease processes affecting the glomerular endothelium.

Glomerulonephrosis refers to a non-inflammatory disease of the kidney (nephrosis) presenting primarily in the glomerulus (a glomerulopathy.)

Many of these individuals eventually develop a glomerulopathy leading to glomerular proteinuria (present in as many as 30%) and, in some, the nephrotic syndrome.

Samoyeds can be affected by a genetic disease known as "Samoyed Hereditary Glomerulopathy", a renal disease.

-The closely related terms membranous nephropathy and membranous glomerulopathy both refer to a similar constellation but without the assumption of inflammation.

Uteroglobin knockout mice on the inbred 129 strain appear to have healthy phenotype (no glomerulopathy development), but show physiological differences in their responses to respiratory challenges.

In membranous glomerulopathy, the tissue wall (membrane) that separates blood and urine and acts as a filter in your kidney becomes thickened and damaged.

Samoyed hereditary glomerulopathy an hereditary noninflammatory disease, of the renal glomeruli occurring in the Samoyed breed of dog.

In addition to the glomerulopathy described above, renal complications of sickle cell disease include cortical infarcts leading to loss of function, persistent hematuria, and perinephric hematomas.

The characteristic feature of collapsing glomerulopathy is collapse of glomerular tuft and proliferation and hyperplasia of glomerular visceral epithelial cells.

Subclinical sodium retention may be an important feature in insulin treated patients who have diabetic glomerulopathy, even if the renin-angiotensin system activity seems to be normal in such patients.

The investigators surmised that pre-treatment elevation of serum membrane attack complex may predict response to eculizumab in DDD and C3 glomerulonephritis, both of which comprise C3 glomerulopathy.

Binds to fibronectin: The uteroglobulin knockout mice on the inbred C57Bl6 strain develop Goodpasture's syndrome like glomerulopathy due to fibronectin binding of IgA which might potentially be prevented by uteroglobin replacement.

Samoyed Hereditary Glomerulopathy is caused by a nonsense mutation in codon 1027 of the COL4A5 gene on the X chromosome (glycine to stop codon), which is similar to Alport's syndrome in humans.
