Potential impact of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and calcium channel blockers on plasma high-molecular-weight adiponectin levels in hemodialysis patients.
Naoki Nakagawa,Naoyuki Yao,Tomoya Hirayama,Mari Ishida,Hironori Ishida,Atsushi Wada,Takayuki Fujino,Yasuaki Saijo,Kenjiro Kikuchi,Naoyuki Hasebe +9 more
TL;DR: Plasma HMW adiponectin levels were negatively associated with VFA and positively associated with treatment with blockade of the renin–angiotensin system and of the calcium channel and therefore, these drugs might be effective for improving adipocytokine-related metabolic abnormalities in hemodialysis patients.

Naoki Nakagawa,Masashi Mizuno,Sawako Kato,Shoichi Maruyama,Hiroshi Sato,Izaya Nakaya,Hitoshi Sugiyama,Shouichi Fujimoto,Kenichiro Miura,Chieko Matsumura,Yoshimitsu Gotoh,Hitoshi Suzuki,Aki Kuroki,Atsunori Yoshino,Shinya Nakatani,Keiju Hiromura,Ryohei Yamamoto,Hitoshi Yokoyama,Ichiei Narita,Yoshitaka Isaka +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the reclassification of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) into immune-complex MPGN (IC-MPGNs) and C3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) based on immunofluorescence findings in kidney biopsies has provided insights into these two distinct diseases.

TL;DR: The balance of the tissue calcification regulators fetuin-A and OPG could mediate the progression of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients.
Retrospective Comparison of the Efficacy of Tonsillectomy with and without Steroid-pulse Therapy in IgA Nephropathy Patients
Naoki Nakagawa,Maki Kabara,Motoki Matsuki,Junko Chinda,Takayuki Fujino,Tomoya Hirayama,Miki Takahara,Yasuaki Harabuchi,Kenjiro Kikuchi,Naoyuki Hasebe +9 more
TL;DR: TSP therapy significantly increased the probability of CR compared with tonsillectomy alone in IgAN patients with urinary abnormalities, and subsequent clinical remission (CR), defined as negative proteinuria and urinary erythrocytes of less than 5/high-power field.
