Kidney and hemoglobinopathy
—
by
Generalities: In this article, we mainly study the renal disorders of sickle cell disease, which remains the most frequent and serious hemoglobinopathy. We will simply mention the renal complications of thalassemia, whose prognosis is very different. Kidney and sickle cell disease: INTRODUCTION: Until recently, sickle cell disease was mostly familiar to pediatricians and some molecular biologists.…

Kidney dysglobulinemia
—
by
INTRODUCTION: Dysglobulinemias are characterized by the secretion in the blood of a monoclonal immunoglobulin or monoclonal immunoglobulin fragment. They may complicate a malignant hemopathy, whether it is myeloma, Waldenström disease or another condition involving the uncontrolled proliferation of a B lymphocyte clone, or occur as part of a benign B lymphocyte proliferation. Monoclonal immunoglobulin or a…

Introduction to hereditary kidney diseases
—
by
Introduction: For about two decades, the spectrum of hereditary nephropathies, the emergence and practice of “nephrogenetics” have evolved considerably. Clinical interest in these diseases has been driven by advances in molecular genetics: mutated genes in many hereditary nephropathies have been identified and genetic tests for mutations have been made in practice for routine clinical diagnosis and…

Epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Diseases
—
by
Introduction: In 2001, chronic terminal renal failure was declared France a major public health priority. This decision is the result of a steady increase in the incidence and prevalence of chronic terminal renal insufficiency. As a primary outbreak, the kidney is potentially exposed to many attacks. Although renal parenchyma has extraordinary adaptive and regenerative abilities, chronic kidney…

Kidney Tissue recreated using Stem Cells
Japanese researchers said they were able to develop for the first time kidney tissue from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). This is an important step that has just revealed a report released today: A team of Japanese scientists led by Kenji Osafune, managed to develop kidney tissue with a success rate of over 90% after…

Chronic renal failure
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a chronic decrease in glomerular filtration rate. In France, about 2 million people have CKD. Risk subjects were hypertensive, diabetic and aged 70 or more (where the frequency of CKD is higher among men than women; men of this age, the frequency of the IRC is 5-7 times…
