The article discusses the results of a survey of acute renal failure (ARF) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Great Britain. The survey found that ARF in patients with CF implicate IV aminoglycosides as an etiological factor. Based on responses, 55 cases were identified with consent given...

Recent studies in a murine model of genetically-determined polycystic kidney disease, the CPK mouse, have suggested that alterations in renal Na-K ATPase activity in concert with tubular epithelial hyperplasia have pathogenic import in proximal tubular cysi formation. In the current study, we...
