A infecção por Schistosoma mansoni é considerada um problema de saúde pública. O envolvimento glomerular na esquistossomose é uma complicação bem documentada, especialmente na esquistossomose hepatoesplênica (EHE). No entanto, a função tubular renal é mal compreendida. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar, através de exossomas urinários, os transportadores tubulares renais em pacientes com EHE. Métodos - Este...
Background: Renal involvement in Schistosoma mansoni infection is not well studied. The aim of this study is to investigate the occurrence of renal abnormalities in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS), especially renal tubular disorders. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 20 consecutive patients with HSS followed in a medical center in Maceio´ , Alagoas, Brazil. Urinary acidification an...
