[The apparatus which controls our kidney too. Part 2 - Structure and function of the juxtaglomerular apparatus]

ROSIVALL László

[The juxtaglomerular apparatus is comprised of the macula densa (a specialregion of the distal tubule), the renin producing granular or epithelioid-cells of the afferent arteriole, the extraglomerular mesengial cells, and the efferent arteriole’s section bordering this region. Somewhat more general definitions also exist. Recently, distinctive morphological and functional associations have been identified between the components of the JGA and some common mediators (e.g. adenosine, angiotensin,... tovább »

[The improvement of the rate of reaching the target blood pressure and the quality of care of hypertensive patients with applying telemedicine facilities]

KISS István, KÉLES Ede

[The authors summarize the facilities of the telemedicine and telemonitoring system. The methods of telemedicine and their combination with home blood pressure measurement or the help of a nurse or pharmacist are reviewed. In the light of the latest results the authors are led to the conclusion that the intensive spread of using the facilities of telemedicine is necessary in the present-day Hungarian healthcare system. At the same time it is also determined that the methodical and technical... tovább »

[Blood pressure self-measurement with telemonitoring technology]

KÉKES Ede, KISS István, SAMU Antal, SZEGEDI János, MEZEI Rudolf

[Authors present the guidelines, indications and utility value of home selfmeasurements of blood pressure. They report the results of the most important clinical studies. They analyze the methodology of the measurements within telemedicinal solutions and describe the consultative scopes associated with the measurement methods already applied in clinical practice. Their own telemonitoring system - called Medistance - is then presented. They have created three modules for the long term... tovább »

[Acute heart failure and acute renal injury: pathophysiology and management of cardiorenal syndrome type 1]

LÁSZLÓ Ágnes, ÁCS Tamás, JÁRAI Zoltán

[The functional connection between heart and kidney is well known. Several types of this relationship have been recently characterized as cardiorenal syndromes. The relevance of this relationship in clinical practice is supported by the fact, that the consequences of the primary dysfunction are profoundly influenced by the magnitude and the treatment possibilities of the secondary dysfunction. Moreover, the administered therapy for heart failure can deteriorate renal hemodinamics, or side... tovább »

[Molecular mechanisms leading to renal fibrosis: the origin of myofibroblasts]

HIMER Leonóra, SZIKSZ Erna, KOVÁCS S. Krisztián, ÓNODY Anna, Reusz Anna, REUSZ György, FEKETE Andrea, TULASSAY Tivadar, VANNAY Ádám

[There are about a quarter of million patients who need chronic renal replacement therapy in Europe, and the estimated number of patients with chronic kidney disease is about tenfold higher. Interestingly, regardless of the initiating cause the mechanism of fibrosis is similar to each other in the different chronic kidney diseases. In general, the damaged glomerular or tubular cells release danger signals and produce chemotactic stimuli, which trigger the rapid recruitment of leukocytes. The... tovább »
