Objective To examine plasma adrenomedullin(ADM) levels in patients with IgA nephropathy,and investigate the correlation of plasma ADM and urinary albumin.Methods Specific radioimmunoassay was used to measure the plasma concentration of ADM in 35 patients with IgA nephropathy and 22 controls,and to analyse correlation of plasma ADM level and urinary albumin. Results The levels of plasma ADM (24 2?3 8)pg/ml was significantly higher in patients with IgA nephrophathy than that of controls(10 9?0 8)pg/ml)(P

Objective To explore the possible role of PGE 1 in tubulointerstitial fibrosis formation. Methods Rat model of unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) was established.In situ hybridation(ISH) technique, morphological observation and biochemical analysis were applied to determine TGF? 1 mRNA expression, changes of tubulointerstitium and rencortical hydroxyproline content after used PGE 1. Results 3 days after UUO,the rats renal interstitial edema, a number of mononuclear cells recruitment. On day 14,tubule atrophy, interstitial proliferative fibrosis and area enlarged,hydroxyproline content,TGF? 1 mRNA expression increased, the peak value of the latter occurred early than that of hydroxyproline peak value and interstitial area enlargement.PGE 1 could down -regulate these changes.Conclusions The antagenistic effect of PGE 1 on renal interstitial fibrosis may be partly associated with down-regulating overexpression of TGF? 1 mRNA and inhibiting mononuclear cells recruitment.
