The etiology, prevalence, and prognosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) including renal vasculitis vary among races and periods. To improve the prognosis of Japanese RPGN patients, we conducted a nationwide survey of RPGN in the nephrology departments of 351 tertiary hospitals, and found 1772 patients with RPGN (Group A: diagnosed between 1989 and 1998, 884 cases; Group B: diagnos...... hiện toàn bộ
Searching for novel intercellular signal-transducing molecules in the kidney and their clinical applicationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 523-527 - 2010
Kiyoshi Mori, Masashi Mukoyama, Kazuwa Nakao
In this review, isolation and characterization of several kidney-derived molecules are described, namely carbonic anhydrase XIV, cysteine-rich protein 61, and kidney–liver-specific immunoglobulin-like protein. Features of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (LCN2 or human neutrophil lipocalin) as a kidney differentiation inducer and renal injury biomarker and also as an iron-carrier protein...... hiện toàn bộ
Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-related crescentic glomerulonephritis after treatment for clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis: a coincidental combination or not?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 577-581 - 2011

A 60-year-old Japanese man exhibited rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis 10 years after receiving prednisolone therapy for clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM). Upon admission, there were no signs of dermatomyositis. Laboratory analyses revealed the presence of myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (MPO-ANCA) at 1,280 EU in the absence of anti-glomerular basement membran...... hiện toàn bộ
Incidence of end-stage renal disease and risk factors for progression of renal dysfunction in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: the Fukuoka Diabetes RegistrySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 26 - Trang 122-131 - 2021

Epidemiological data regarding diabetic kidney disease are accumulated insufficiently in Japan. We prospectively investigated the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and risk factors for progression of renal dysfunction in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. 4904 participants with type 2 diabetes (mean age 65 years, mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 75 mL/min/1.73 m2, pr...... hiện toàn bộ
Renal function evaluation in patients with cancer who were scheduled to receive carboplatin or S-1Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1107-1113 - 2015

Accurate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) evaluation is significant for drug dosing of carboplatin, anticancer drug excreted mainly from kidney. Serum cystatin-C (sCys-C) is a GFR marker with little affected by body muscle mass volume. And GFR equations based on serum creatinine (eGFRcreat) and sCys-C (eGFRcys) were developed; however, accuracy of eGFRcys has not been elucidated fully among patien...... hiện toàn bộ
