Association of renal resistive index with target organ damage in essential hypertension.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is evidence from genome wide association study that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5' end of the uromodulin gene (UMOD) affect uromodulin excretion and blood pressure (BP). Uromodulin is almost exclusively expressed in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TAL) and its effect on...
