Strong association between idiopathic membranous nephropathy and HLA-DRW3.

HLA A, B, and DR antigens were determined in a homogeneous group of patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. The frequency of HLA-DRW3 was significantly higher in the patients than in a control population. The frequencies of HLA B8 and B18, which are in linkage disequilibrium with DRW3, were also increased.

The arteriolar lesions of steroid hypertension in rats.

1. The arteriolar lesions of rats with deoxycorticosterone (DOCA)-salt hypertension have been studied by colloidal carbon injection and light- and electron-microscopy. 2. Colloidal carbon particles enter the media of arterioles to form focal deposits when hypertension develops. 3. The focal lesions are similar to those seen after angiotensin infusion or renal artery constriction. They are characterized by endothelial damage and plasma deposition in the media. 4. Heavy deposition of carbon in the glomeruli of DOCA-treated animals was found to be caused by increased mesangial uptake and not by hypertensive vascular damage. 5. Angiotensin II concentrations fell during the development of hypertension and vascular lesions. The renin-angiotensin system was not implicated in the development of vascular damage in this form of hypertension.
