Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) around the world. It affects people of all ages, sex and ethnicity. The occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) predisposes to CKD and can worsen renal function in individuals with CKD under conservative treatment. Blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is the gold standard for slowing …
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the world, affecting thousands of people worldwide, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or socio-demographic condition. DM leads to chronic macro- and micro-angiopathic DM-related complications and is also the major cause of blindness and amputation. Blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is the…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem that affects millions of people from all age, racial and ethnic groups. CKD is incurable, requiring renal replacement therapy, that is, dialysis or renal transplantation. Identification of stem cell populations in mammalian tissues is therefore important for therapeutic applications and for understanding developmental proce…
Rhabdomyolysis (RB) is characterized by rapid injury to the striated muscle with rupture and/or necrosis of muscle fibers, associated with trauma events. Such rupture results in the release of nephrotoxic products into the bloodstream that obstruct the proximal convoluted tubules, causing a sudden decline in renal function and, consequently, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). However, …
The BTBR ob/ob mice (black and tan, obese, tufted) are characterized by a mutation on the leptin gene (Lep ob ) that makes it knockout for this gene. Due to this mutation, BTBR mice show a number of characteristics, such as:hyperfagia, hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, hyperisulinism,hypertriglyceridemia, impaired healing, albuminuria, hypothermia, andincreased production of pituitary a…
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an epidemiological disease and a major public health problem, affecting people of all ages, sex, and ethnicity. It is estimated that the number of individuals affected by DM in the world are more than 425 million, and it is estimated that 629 million people will be diagnosed with DM in 2040. Due to hyperglycemia and other associated factors, diabetic nephropathy …
Diabetes is an epidemic disease with increasing incidence over the world, causing multiple complications. Diabetic Nephropathy is one of the main disturbs caused by diabetic hyperglycemia, which is characterized by progressive loss of glomerular filtration rate and affects over 40% of diabetic patients. Oxidative stress, which is one of the main players in Diabetic Nephropathy pathogenesi…
