[Peculiarities of progression of chronic glomerulonephritis associated with anemia]
Aim:
To study the influence of renal anemia on the clinical course of chronic kidney disease in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) at the early stage of the disease.
Materials And Methods:
This prospective 12 month study included evaluation of clinical and laboratory characteristics of 149 patients aged 17-66 (mean 37,6±12,6) years at the pre-dialysis stage of CGN (92 men (37,04±13,4 yr) and 57 women (38,2±11,2 yr).
Results:
By the end of prospective observation, patients of group 1 (CGN without anemia) showed a decrease of the hemoglobin level accompanied by the impairment of nitrogen releasing function with the glomerular filtration rate of 70,1 (43,1-111) ml/min compared with 87 (61,3-115,3) at the onset of observations (p<0,05). In group 2 (CGN with anemia), dynamics of the nitrogen-releasing function was similar but even more pronounced with the glomerular filtration rate reduced to 47,4 (32,2-91,8) ml/min compared with 80,7 (39,8-107,9) at the onset of observations (p<0,05) and the serum creatinine level increased to157 (92-242) mcmol/l compared with 123 (86-171) (p<0,05).
Conclusion:
Reduction of hemoglobin level in patients with CGN is apparent at the early stages of the disease in association with impairment of glomerular filtration. The data obtained indicate that anemia can be a laboratory predictor of deteriorated nitrogen-releasing function.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
