Apoptosis in glomerulonephritis.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Autoregulation of renal blood flow has traditionally been considered to stabilize glomerular filtration, and thus tubular load, in the face of blood pressure fluctuations. This view arose because of the contribution of tubuloglomerular feedback, which senses distal tubular fluid composition, to regula...
