Hepatitis C Virus, Cryoglobulinemia, and Kidney: Novel Evidence by Fabrizio Fabrizi

“…Mixed cyoglobulinemia is a systemic vasculitis primarily mediated by immune complexes; it is characterized by variable organ involvement including skin lesions, chronic hepatitis, glomerulonephritis, peripheral neuropathy, and arthralgias. The most frequent HCV-associated nephropathy is type I membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, usually in the context of type II mixed cryoglobulinemia. …”

Inhibition of the production of mediators of inflammation by corticosteroids is a glucocorticoid receptor-mediated process by G. S. Madretsma, A. P. M. van Dijk, C. J. A. M. Tak, J. H. P. Wilson, F. J. Zijlstra

“…In order to find an explanation for corticosteroid resistance we assessed whether inhibition by dexamethasone (DEX) of the stimulated production of TNF-∝, IL-6, PGE2 and LTB4 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC) depends on binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and whether it is determined by the number or the affinity of the GR of these cells. …”
