Worldwide obesity is considered a top public health concern. Currently, another top public health concern is the coronavirus 2 of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-Cov-2), responsible for the current pandemic of COVID-19, and the mechanical ventilation (MV) has been an essential ally in the treatment of SARS associated with infection. However, it is known that MV can induce chan…
In hypoxia is observed the tubulointerstitial and glomerular injury characterized by accumulation of extracellular matrix, however the glomerular lesion, more moderate, is less studied. The podocyte is one of the first cells subject to hypoxia and, in the glomerulus, mesangial and glomerular endothelial cells are in opposition to the podocyte, separated by the glomerular basement membrane…
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and hypertension are the leading causes of chronic kidney disease. Diabetic nephropathy, as a result of chronic hyperglycemia, affects about 40% of diabetic patients and it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among them. Hypertension is another important risk factor for chronic kidney disease, because it alters the intra-renal microcirculation, as well as me…
In chronic kidney disease, both tubulointerstitial and glomerular sclerosis is observed. While the role of hypoxia in tubulointerstitial fibrosis is much studied, the glomerular lesion is less evaluated. Endothelial cells interact with the mesangial cells in the glomerulus, these cells produce extracellular matrix. This interaction, especially in deleterious conditions such as hypoxia, ca…
In hypoxia both tubulointerstitial and glomerular injury are observed. The podocyte is one of the first cells subjected to ischemia and, in the glomerulus, the mesangial cells are in opposition to the podocyte, separated only by the basement membrane. Thus, it is possible to suppose that a mechanism of intercellular communication occurs, especially in injurious conditions such as hypoxia.…
Cyclosporine-A is an immunosuppressive agent widely used for controlling various kinds of rejection in transplants, including kidney. However, its use is associated with acute and chronic nephrotoxic injury. Chronic toxicity associated with cyclosporin involves an increase in the resistance of afferent and efferent arterioles, decreased renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, ren…
