  • Method for kidney disease treatment by drug intervention
    Publication number: 20040106155
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for diagnosing early stage of a disease in which an intact protein found in urine is an indicator of the disease, followed by early drug intervention to prevent and treat the disease are also disclosed. The drug treatment involves the use of a lysosome activating compound.

  • Method for kidney disease detection
    Publication number: 20040029175
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing early stage renal disease and/or renal complications of a disease in which intact albumin is an indicator of the renal disease and/or complications. The method includes an isolated intact protein, an anti-intact protein antibody thereto, and methods for preparing the same.

  • Antimicrobial charged polymers that exhibit resistance to lysosomal degradation during kidney filtration and renal passage, compositions and method of use thereof
    Publication number: 20040009953
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating or preventing microbial infection in mammals with sulfated polysaccharides wherein the polysaccharides have a degree of sulfation effective to enable maximal interaction of constituent sulfate groups with the microbe which causes the infection and wherein the sulfated polysaccharide is not substantially endocytosed or degraded by cell receptor binding in the mammal and thereby retains antimicrobial activity in vivo.

  • Method for kidney disease detection and treatment
    Patent number: 6589748
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for diagnosing early stage of a disease in which an intact protein found in urine is an indicator of the disease. The method includes assaying urine sample to detect the presence of modified protein using either immunological or non-immunological technique. Methods for preventing and treating the disease are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for kidney disease detection by protein profiling
    Publication number: 20030003588
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of generating and analyzing a urinary protein fragmentation profile, in terms of the size, and sequence of particular fragments derived from intact filtered proteins together with the position where enzymes scission occurs along the protein polypeptide chain is characteristic of the diseased state of the kidney.
