Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in the Development of Endothelial Dysfunction and Kidney Disease
by Himanshu Sankrityayan
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased in the United States from 20 million in 2004 to over 26 million adult Americans in 2008. Since there are many factors that can lead to kidney disease, and the gradual loss of kidney function can occur without noticeable symptoms, it is important that everyone be aware of the risks for this condition and the options available to those with kidney problems. This clearly presented, easy-to-follow guidebook is an all-in-one resource to und...

If you are among the 60,000 North Americans who go on dialysis each year, the information in this book could substantially improve your quality of life. In Coping...
Nephrotoxicity
There has been a growing awareness that nephrotoxicity represents a key factor in human nephropathies, where, irrespective of the causative agent, only a few clinical end-effects are diagnosed. Thus nephropathies are generally classified as acute or chronic renal failure, malignancies or immunological changes. The weaknesses in diagnosing nephropathies arises because of the effective role the kidney plays in maintaining homeostasis, despite the fact that it has been extensively damaged. The freq...

Nephrotoxic Mechanisms of Drugs and Environmental Toxins
by George A Porter
The majority of the offending toxicants to be reviewed in this volume were devel oped to help mankind, and it is only with prolonged or widespread application that their adverse effects have been recognized. Conversely, in the case of pre scrip tion drugs, there has been an attempt to identify the adverse effects in advance and incorporate these risks into the decision of approval for human consumption. Unfortunately, for those drugs in which recognized injury occurs only after prolonged use,...
The kidney is innervated with efferent sympathetic nerve fibers reaching the renal vasculature, the tubules, the juxtaglomerular granular cells, and the renal pelvic wall. The renal sensory nerves are mainly found in the renal pelvic wall. Increases in efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity reduce renal blood flow and urinary sodium excretion by activation of α1-adrenoceptors and increase renin secretion rate by activation of β1-adrenoceptors. In response to normal physiological stimulation,...
