High impact information on KIRREL

 

Chemical compound and disease context of KIRREL

 

Biological context of KIRREL

 

Anatomical context of KIRREL

  • RECENT FINDINGS: Nephrin and neph molecules form specialized cell junctions in various systems in different species [7].
  • Using standard stereological methods, the glomerular filtration surface area per nephron (S-Filt/neph), mesangial volume per glomerulus (V-Mes/glom), mesangial matrix volume per glomerulus (V-MM/glom) and the width of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) were measured in nonoccluded glomeruli [8].
 

Associations of KIRREL with chemical compounds

  • Clinical parameters, including the duration of diabetes, urinary protein excretion and creatinine clearance were all related to S-Filt/neph, V-Mes/glom, V-MM/glom and the width of the GBM [8].
 

Other interactions of KIRREL

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KIRREL

  • In 36 patient with CNI-Neph (n = 6), CAN(b) (n = 21), CAN(a) (n = 7), and others (n = 2) RAPA therapy was started 4.4-115 months (median 30.6 months) after renal transplantation [11].
