Plasma concentrations of endothelin in man: arterio-venous differences and release during venous stasis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Renal size and function reflect the health of the kidney. These parameters are associated with age, gender and body weight. The kidneys are also influenced by micro- and macrovascular diseases. Atherosclerotic markers and risk factors may influence the age-related changes of renal size and function. METHODS...
