Cost-effectiveness of aliskiren in type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and albuminuria.

15 Sep 2009 The Aliskiren in the Evaluation of Proteinuria in Diabetes (AVOID) trial demonstrated that adding aliskiren, an oral direct renin inhibitor, at a dosage of 300 mg/d to the highest approved dosage of losartan and optimal antihypertensive therapy ... Read more...

Comparison of urinary albumin quantification by immunoturbidimetry, competitive immunoassay, and protein-cleavage liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

8 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Increased urinary albumin excretion is a well-documented diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for renal disease. Urinary albumin is typically measured in clinical settings by immunoassay methods. However, neither a reference method nor a ... Read more...

Both complement and IgG fc receptors are required for development of attenuated antiglomerular basement membrane nephritis in mice.

24 Aug 2009 To elucidate the mechanisms of glomerulonephritis, including Goodpasture's syndrome, mouse models are used that use heterologous Abs against the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) with or without preimmunization with foreign IgG from the same ... Read more...
