Impact of immunofluorescence on the histological pattern of pediatric kidney biopsies from northern Pakistan.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has significant influences on heart and renal disease progression. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2) are major peptidases of RAS components and play counteracting functions through angiotensin II (Ang II)/ATIR and angiotensin-(1...
