Sodium transporters in the distal nephron and disease implications.

abstract：:Diabetic nephropathy and hypertension are the major causes of chronic kidney disease. The renin system plays a key role in the control of blood pressure (BP), as well as in the regulation of renal and adrenal function. Chronic activation of the renin system can lead to organ damage, particularly renal damage; increasi...
