- The study looks at primary FSGS (pFSGS) in Turkey and compares it to trends in other countries, noting that pFSGS cases are rising in the USA but not in Europe or Asia.
- Researchers used data from Turkish patients with confirmed pFSGS, finding that many are men around 40 years old, with most experiencing nephrotic syndrome as the main symptom.
- Key findings show that many patients have specific kidney issues, with differences between males and females in blood pressure and kidney function, while overall cases of pFSGS remain stable in Turkey.
Background: Levels of zonulin, a surrogate marker of intestinal permeability, are elevated in various disorders including insulin resistance, obesity, celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. We aimed to elucidate the association of zonulin levels and metabolic syndrome (MS) in renal transplant recipients.
Methods: Seventy-nine renal transplant recipients were enrolled.
Purpose: In our study, diagnostic and demographic characteristics of patients diagnosed with minimal change disease (MCD) by biopsy, clinical and laboratory findings in our country were investigated.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Turkish Society of Nephrology Glomerular Diseases (TSN-GOLD) Working Group database. Demographic characteristics, indications for biopsy, diagnosis of the glomerular diseases, comorbidities, laboratory and biopsy findings of all patients were recorded.
Background: We aimed to evaluate the features of primary membranous nephropathy (MNP) in Turkish people.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients with biopsy-proven primary MNP. We obtained the data collected between 2009 and 2019 in the primary glomerulonephritis registry of the Turkish Society of Nephrology Glomerular Diseases Study Group (TSN-GOLD).
