Abstract: This review has highlighted the cytokine network which is involved in renal damage from an initial, even transient, stage to extensive glomerular and tubulointerstitial sclerosis. Studies of a variety of different proliferative glomerulonephritides have documented the prominent role of macrophages in infiltrating mesangium, subendothelial area and crescentic formation. Thus, they stimulate crescent glomerular cells to produce other cytokines and growth factors. The identification of other mediators, released by the monocytes in the interstitium, exemplifies the important role of these cells in progressive interstitial scarring through the release of fibrogenic cytokines. In addition, renal tubular cells have been found to produce a vast array of cytokines and growth factors which participate in the generation of renal interstitial scarring.

Extractions: IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Ms. RIVERS submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on April 18, 2002 CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Commending the NephCure Foundation for its sponsorship of National Kidney Cure Week and encouraging the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make more information available to the public concerning kidney diseases. Whereas the Surgeon General designated kidney diseases as one of the focus areas of the Healthy People 2010 campaign; Whereas 2,500,000 people in the United States suffer from kidney diseases and of that number approximately 398,000 are afflicted with End Stage Renal Disease, 90 percent of which is caused by glomerular diseases; Whereas glomerular diseases of the kidney cause 360,000 people in the United States to rely on dialysis for life and that number is expected to escalate to 660,000 people by the year 2010; Whereas countless more people in the United States live with the early effects of glomerular diseases and too many cases are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed; Whereas there is not yet a cure for glomerular diseases, but there are treatments available when quickly and accurately diagnosed;
Extractions: April 18, 2002 Introduction of H.Res._ Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.Res. , commending the NephCure Foundation headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan for establishing National Kidney Cure Week in the first week of October and encouraging the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make more information on kidney diseases available to the public. Today, chronic kidney disease affects 2.5 million Americans. The U.S. Surgeon General has designated kidney disease as a focus area of the Healthy People 2010 campaign. The incidence of glomerular diseases, which attack the filtering mechanisms of the kidney, is increasing rapidly in the US. These diseases typically strike children from sixteen months to four years of age and often are difficult to diagnosis and treat. In their most severe form, glomerular diseases can lead to end stage renal disease - near or complete kidney failure requiring dialysis treatments or even kidney transplants. Sadly, even after a patient finds a donor, undergoes surgery, and receives a transplant, the disease can recur. Glomerular diseases impact more than the patients and families directly affected - the economic costs associated with care, treatment, and loss of productivity are staggering. In order to raise public awareness and improve diagnosis and treatment of glomerular diseases, I am introducing this resolution commending NephCure Foundation for designating the first week of October as National Kidney Cure Week and encouraging the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make more information available to the public concerning kidney diseases.

Extractions: About the maker of this site M inimal change glomerulopathy (a.k.a. minimal change disease) is a disease that injures the tiny filtering structures in the kidney called glomeruli (glomerulus = singular, glomeruli = pleural). These filters (glomeruli) normally filter waste products, salts, and electrolytes from the blood, but do not allow significant amounts of protein or blood cells to cross over into the urine. The glomeruli (filters) are composed of a spherical mass of small blood vessels (capillaries). The filtration process occurs across the walls of these glomerular capillaries. I n addition to minimal change glomerulopathy, there are many other specific glomerular diseases that have different natural histories (prognoses) and different appropriate treatments. These diseases cause a variety of syndromes (distinctive groupings of disease manifestations). The syndrome that minimal change disease causes if called the nephrotic syndrome. Some other glomerular diseases also can cause this syndrome.
