Nephrogenic Adenoma: Immunohistochemical Evaluation for Its Etiology and Differentiation From Prostatic Adenocarcinoma
|
Context.-Nephrogenic adenoma is a rare benign lesion of the urinary tract. Owing to its strong association with a history of urinary tract irritation, nephrogenic adenoma was initially thought to originate from urothelial metaplasia; however, no solid proof of this association has been found. More recent investigation has pointed to a renal tubular cause. In addition to its uncertain origin, there can be diagnostic difficulty in distinguishing nephrogenic adenoma from prostatic carcinoma, par...

EARLY ONSET HYPERKALEMIA IN PREMATURE BABIES
Journal of Maternal - Fetal & Neonatal Medicine
; Background: Early onset hyperkalemia is associated with a high morbidity and mortality in premature babies. It is thought to be due to a transient deficiency in Na/K ATPase resulting in reduced potassium secretion by renal tubules. Aim: To determine the incidence and risk factors of early onset

Mode of Action: Oxalate Crystal-Induced Renal Tubule Degeneration and Glycolic Acid-Induced Dysmorphogenesis-Renal and Developmental Effects of Ethylene Glycol
Critical Reviews in Toxicology
; Ethylene glycol can cause both renal and developmental toxicity, with metabolism playing a key role in the mode of action (MOA) for each form of toxicity. Renal toxicity is ascribed to the terminal metabolite oxalic acid, which precipitates in the kidney in the form of calcium oxalate crystals and
