The Glomerular Lesions in Endotheliotropic Hemolytic Nephroangiopathy (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, Malignant Nephrosclerosis, Post Partal Renal Insuff…
1982
The term "Endotheliotropic Hemolytic Nephroangiopathy" (EHN) comprises various clinically or pathomorphologically defined disease states with severe renal lesions (e.g. hemolytic uremic syndrome, malignant nephrosclerosis, post partum renal insufficiency) which, to date, have been considered as different entities. We attempted to assign accompanying glomerular changes based upon light and electron microscopy to the above mentioned clinical pictures and their various stages. The accordingly classified glomerular lesions (G1--G3 and Ga) are of critical importance in pathohistological differential diagnosis. Since it is assumed that fibrin is a causing event in the pathogenesis of the vascular…
Evaluation of B-cell secretion and peripheral insulin resistance during pregnancy and after delivery in gestational diabetes mellitus with obesity
1988
Nine pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were studied. Six normal pregnant women and six normal nonpregnant women were evaluated as control groups. All the women underwent oral glucose tolerance test and glucose clamp during the third trimester of pregnancy and two months after delivery. During OGTT, glucose, C-peptide and insulin plasma levels were determined. C-peptide and insulin values in the late phase of OGTT were higher during pregnancy than after delivery in both groups. In gestational diabetic women, the M-value in the second steady-state during glucose clamp was lower than in controls, both during pregnancy and after delivery. Nevertheless, in both groups the M…
