The spectrum of HIV related nephropathy in KwaZulu-Natal : a pathogenetic appraisal and impact of HAART.
(2012)Sub-Saharan Africa bears 70% of the global HIV burden with KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) identified as the epicenter of this pandemic. HIV related nephropathy (HIVRN) exceeds any other causes of kidney diseases responsible for end ... -
Morphometric comparisons of term placentae from normotensive and pre-eclamptic pregnancies suggest maladaptations of the fetal component of the placenta in pre-eclampsia.
(2012)Adequate maternal, intervillous and fetal blood flow are all necessary for fetal wellbeing. Compromise to any part of this exchange would be detrimental to pregnancy outcome. Preeclampsia is associated with reduced ... -
The role of leptin in HIV associated pre-eclampsia.
(2013)HIV and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, in particular pre-eclampsia, are the main causes of maternal mortality in South Africa. In HIV associated pre-eclampsia, it is biologically plausible that the immune activation ... -
The role of soluble FMS-like tyrosine-kinase-1, vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor in HIV associated pre-eclamptic pregnancies : a South African perspective.
(2013)Introduction and aims. South Africa is the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (15.7%) are the second cause of maternal deaths of which pre-eclampsia represents 83%. Normal pregnancy ... -
The role of trophoblast cells in HIV-1 passage across the placenta.
(2015)Background The combination of pre-eclampsia and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a major obstetric dilemma in South Africa and, consequently, mother to child transmission of HIV remains a burden in our community. The ... -
The role of peripheral natural killer cells in immunocompromised pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant black South Africans.
(2015)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Trace element analysis of biological samples from normotensive and pre-eclamptic South African pregnant women.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
The role of macrophages, dendritic and Langerhans cells in the mother to child transmission of HIV in placental tissue of normotensive pregnancies.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
The effect of adipokines in HIV associated pre-eclampsia : (C-peptide, ghrelin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, glucagon like peptide-1, glucagon, insulin plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and visfatin).
(2016)Introduction: South Africa has a maternal ratio of 300 deaths/100,000 live births. Non-pregnancy related infections (mainly deaths in HIV infected pregnant women complicated by tuberculosis and pneumonia) accounts for 34.7% ... -
The role of pro-renin and its receptor expression in pre-eclampsia complicated by HIV infection.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
The role of CD69 in HIV-associated pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant black South Africans.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Cell signaling expression of stat-3 and mek-1 in HIV-associated pre-eclampsia.
(2017)Background: Sub-Saharan Africa remains the epicenter of the HIV pandemic. In South Africa 35.8% of maternal deaths are ascribed to non-pregnancy related infections, namely HIV infection. The prevalence rate of HIV in ... -
The role of primigravidae, lymphatic vessel endothelial receptor-1 and podoplanin in HIV associated early and late onset pre-eclampsia.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
The role of albumin, β₂M and Cystatin C as urinary biomarkers in idopathic and HIV-associated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in children.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Expression of plasma nuclear factor KAPPA-B (NFκB) and inhibitory subunit KAPPA B ALPHA (IκB-α) in HIV-associated pre-eclamsia.
(2017)Objective: The relationship between pre-eclampsia and HIV-1 infection is one of the most unexplored relationships in research. Pre-eclampsia is characterized by inflammation and HIV is characterized by a decline in immune ... -
The role of c-jun n-terminal kinase (JNK) and tumour protein (p53) in HIV associated pre-eclampsia.
(2017)Background: In pre-eclampsia, immune maladaptation to the foetal allograft results in impaired trophoblast invasion and defective spiral arterial remodelling with consequential placental oxidative stress. Placental apoptosis ... -
The role of C- reactive protein and serum amyloid A in HIV associated pre-eclampsia.
(2018)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Hepatocyte growth factor and epidermal growth factor in HIV associated preeclampsia.
(2018)Background: The survival or death of a cell is reliant upon growth factors. Hepatocyte and Epidermal Growth Factor (HGF and EGF) promote vital cellular processes such as cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, growth, ...
