(15) The results of adoptive cell migration studies suggest that a subpopulation of T cells in nephritic animals traffic renotropically to either normal or damaged kidneys on transfer.
(16) Levels of components of the classical and alternative complement pathways and the activity of the C3 nephritic factor (C3NeF) were measured in serum specimens from patients with type I (subendothelial deposits) and type II (intramembranous dense deposits) membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) and the results compared with the levels in normal subjects.
(17) Sedentary nephritic rats that received the same treatment described above served as controls.
(18) In 3 patients tested, the C3 nephritic factor-like activity was heat-labile and was therefore not related to true C3 nephritic factor.
(19) For the two-sample case, data from a prognostic study of the renal function of 87 lupus nephritic patients are used.
(20) In detail 5 types of clinical course are characterized: Nephritic types of course: maximally active nephritic type of course, active nephritic type of course, inactive nephritic type of course.
Renal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the kidneys; in the region of the kidneys.
Example Sentences:

(2) It is concluded that acute renal denervation augments the pressure diuresis that follows carotid occlusion.
(3) Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are frequently accompanied by deteriorated renal functions and by pathological lesions in the glomeruli.
(4) In this review, we demonstrate that serum creatinine does not provide an adequate estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and contrary to recent teachings, that the slope of the reciprocal of serum creatinine vs time does not permit an accurate assessment of the rate of progression of renal disease.
(5) We studied 15 renal transplant recipients for evidence of tubular dysfunction.
(6) One of the main components was confirmed to be caffeic acid which had inhibitory effect on renal failure in mice by Ac1-P.

(8) Erythrocyte membrane choline transport is abnormally high in chronic renal failure.
(9) These results indicate that both the renal brush-border and basolateral membranes possess the Na(+)-dependent dicarboxylate transport system with very similar properties but with different substrate affinity and transport capacity.
(10) These findings may not indicate a redistribution of renal blood flow through resistance changes in specific parts of the renal vasculature but may represent the consequences of focal cortical ischaemia, most prominent in the outer cortex.
(11) Associated renal and other abnormalities were common.
(12) Changes in renal renin levels after the administration of glycerol were not significant, although lower renal renin values were consistently found in rabbits with more severe impairment of renal function.
