THE question of whether poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis may occur without clinically detectable proteinuria is an elusive one. If one insists on bacteriologic or serologic evidence of a ...

Background Over the course of 1 year, four patients in a single institution developed acute kidney injury most likely secondary to nafcillin-associated acute interstitial nephritis, indicating that ...

The late Dr. Warfield T. Longcope and his associates at the Johns Hopkins Hospital exhibited a long and continuous interest in the relation between infections due to the hemolytic streptococcus and ...

Controversy concerns immunological and ultrastructural features of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Opportunity to study, by renal biopsy, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, an ...

A recent study posted to medRxiv* preprint server reported a novel form of post-acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome in children. Study: Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis with or ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine and Yale University have collaborated on the development and application of a diagnostic model to detect acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) in patients, which ...

Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis in the native kidney presents with renal insufficiency, proteinuria, and hematuria, and is usually due to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Rarely, kidney ...

Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a type of kidney disease characterized by inflammation that impairs kidney function. It may lead to complications like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, ...

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a condition in which the kidneys are inflamed. The glomeruli are the filtering mechanism of the kidneys. They consist of a tuft of highly coiled capillaries cupped in a ...

A synthetic peptide appears to directly disrupt the destructive inflammation that occurs in nephritis, enabling the kidneys to better recover and maintain their important functions, investigators ...

PPI-Induced Acute Interstitial Nephritis May Be On the Rise In a study of 133 cases, the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole was the leading drug cause. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are emerging as an ...
