Abstract

In this review, isolation and characterization of several kidney-derived molecules are described, namely carbonic anhydrase XIV, cysteine-rich protein 61, and kidney–liver-specific immunoglobulin-like protein. Features of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (LCN2 or human neutrophil lipocalin) as a kidney differentiation inducer and renal injury biomarker and also as an iron-carrier protein are also summarized. Furthermore, the concepts of forest fire theory and the biology of siderophore-binding proteins are discussed.

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.
