Background: Proximal tubular cells respond to pro- teinuria by expressing several cytokines and inflam- matory molecules that induce interstitial fibrosis. In- creased attention has been drawn toward the systems of endothelin (ET) and nitric oxide (N

Aim: Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN), the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, is usually treated by cyclosporin A (CsA). Estimation of the effectiveness of long-term use of CsA in the remission and relapse rate of nephrotic syn

Cyclosporine (CsA) is implicated in the development of chronic allograft nephropathy, which is related to reduced long-term allograft survival. The activation of tubular epithelial cells is involved in the renal scarring process via stimulation of fa

Background/Aims: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a common type of glomerular disease that can lead to chronic renal failure. Various therapeutic regimens have been used in nephrotic FSGS patients. The effect of treatment with prednisolon

Endothelin-1 (ET-1), which acts via the specific receptors ET-A and ET-B, has been implicated in the development of renal scarring. The activation of the endothelin system was observed in experimental models of glomerular diseases and was attributed

Aim Renal transplantation is accompanied by restoration of renal function and endogenous erythropoietin production. The purpose of this study was to investigate the time-related changes of endogenous erythropoietin secretion in the early renal post-t

Background: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common primary glomerular diseases. Although its clinical course is usually benign, some patients develop end-stage renal failure (ESRF). The role of immunosuppressive drugs in the tr

Apoptosis, a gene-directed form of cell death, has been involved in the resolution of renal injury but also in the development of scarring. Bcl-2 and bax are proteins related to apoptotic process that either provides a survival advantage to rapidly p

BACKGROUND Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN), a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, is usually treated by combination of corticosteroids with cytotoxic drugs. In cases resistant to this regimen, the use of cyclosporin A (CsA) is follo

Objectives The clinical features of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection depend on the immune and autoimmune reactions induced by the virus. Chronic renal failure might alter the pattern of these reactions. The aim of this study was to determine the pre
