“…An earlier relevant study concluded that SLE patients had much higher levels in patients with pediatric immune vasculitis syndromes as compared to the healthy control subjects especially patients with biopsy evidence of nephritis. 20 Among the SLE patients in the current study, urinary CP excretion was positively correlated to age, SLE duration, ESR, 24-hour urinary proteins and serum creatinine and was negatively correlated to the serum albumin and eGFR. These findings suggest that this non-invasive marker is indicative of renal damage in juvenile SLE.…”

“…A relevant study observed that urinary CP levels were weakly correlated with the urinary protein/creatinine ratio and that the eGFR was totally unrelated to the levels of CP. 20 A relevant study did not prove any correlation between urinary concentrations of CP and the range of proteinuria in an adult study population. 8 The difference is obviously due to the diverse study designs and study samples.…”

Background: Lupus nephritis is an important cause of pediatric lupus morbidity and mortality. We sought to investigate the value of urinary transferrin (uTF), urinary ceruloplasmin (uCP) and urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (uNGAL) as non-invasive biomarkers of renal involvement in pediatric SLE. Methods: We conducted a comparative crosssectional study over a period of 6 months at the

“…These results may be explained by the fact that iron from plant sources is less easily absorbed than the heme-bound iron of animal sources. However, germinated lentil supplemented diet recorded the highest values in Hb, hematocrit value and RBCs count may be attributed to the fact that germinated lentil had the highest content of folic acid as compared to the other tested legumes (Salem et al, 2014) which cause enhancement of hemopoietic organs and erythropoiesis.…”

Legume consumption may play an important role on the health life during aging through its well-recognized antioxidant, antiproliferative, and antigenotoxic effects. The present study aimed to clarify the effect of some legumes feeding on oxidative stress in menopause rats. The experiment was carried out on 66 female rats (16-17 months old) divided into 11 groups. The first group was fed basal diet and kept as control group. The remaining groups were fed basal diet containing 20 % of different processed legumes either cooked or germinated (faba bean, chickpea, lentil, white bean and fenugreek). The experiment continued for 8 weeks .Growth of rats, biochemical analyses and histopathological examination were evaluated. Results showed that the body weight changed from the highest percentage of decrease (-7.7%) in the group fed on diet including germinated white bean and the highest percentage of increase (+7.1%) in the group fed cooked lentil supplemented diet. The study also demonstrated improvement in lipid profile, particularly in VLDL-C and triglycerides levels. The highest percentage decreases of atherogenic index relative to control group were 46.5, 44 and 40% in groups supplemented with germinated lentil, cooked faba bean and germinated faba bean, respectively. Germination process is more effective than cooking treatment by enhancing the antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and GPx, also by reducing liver enzymes like, alkaline phosphatase and aspartate transferase, particularly germinated lentil group and decreasing lipid peroxidation reflected on histopathological lesions in hepatocytes. Moreover, serum protein was higher in germinated legumes diets than cooked ones. In conclusion, the obtained results suggest that diets containing legumes, particularly the germinated form exert a beneficial effect in reducing some disturbances associated with aging.
