Paraneoplastic manifestations in malignant pleural mesothelioma are rare. We report a case of malignant pleural mesothelioma associated with minimal change disease (MCD). A 58-year-old man with occupational exposure to asbestos presented with severe peripheral edema, heavy proteinuria, and acute renal failure shortly after the diagnosis of mesothelioma had been confirmed. The renal biopsy demonstrated MCD. The underlying pathogenesis of this association remains unknown.

    We have characterized the expression of all DPIV-like enzymes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We have demonstrated the constitutive expression of DPIV, DP8, DP9, DPII and PEP mRNA and DPIV, DP8 and DP9 protein in CLL. FAP mRNA was not detected in CLL or normal B-lymphocytes. This correlated w...

    Assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for calculating safe dosages of renally cleared drugs. Formulae for estimating reliable GFRs assume that plasma creatinine concentrations are stable. This study evaluates the variability of plasma creatinine (PCr) concentrations in patients...

    We report the cloning, expression, and functional characterization of UGT3A1. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine from UDP N-acetylglucosamine to ursodeoxycholic acid (3alpha, 7beta-dihydroxy-5beta-cholanoic acid). The enzyme uses ursodeoxycholic acid and UDP N-acetylglucosamin...
