Does atorvastatin prevent glomerulosclerosis and renal endothelial dysfunction in hypercholesterolaemic rabbits?
Atorvastatin exerts a protective effect on renal damage associated with hypercholesterolaemia even in the presence of deleterious levels of plasma cholesterol.
In patients with MLN, a distinguishing morphologic feature of those with nephrotic range proteinuria is diffuse visceral epithelial cell FPE. We conclude that nephrotic range proteinuria in patients with MLN may be a manifestation of concomitant glomerular visceral epithelial cell dysfunction.
