- Title
The Renal Association Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom March 24-25, 1997.
- Abstract
The article presents information on the renal association in Great Britain. Mesangial cell cytokine production in the inflamed glomerulus is critical to amplification of the inflammatory response. Steroids increase non-phlogistic uptake of apoptotic cells by glomerular phagocytes. Auto-antibodies to myeloperoxidase (MPO) are associated with the potential to develop crescentic nephritis. However, there is uncertainty about the prognosis implications of such finding because circulating anti-MPO antibodies may be found in a variety of other conditions that may not all carry a poor renal prognosis.
