Increased excretion of urinary transforming growth factor beta in patients with focal glomerular sclerosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a frequent and severe complication after renal transplantation. In fact, PTDM is a risk factor for both infection and cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence and incidence of PTDM have a bimodal evolution: early (up to 3 months) and late PTDM (beyond 12 months). Th...

abstract：:The high blood flow rate/gram of kidney tissue supplies mainly the renal cortex. The net effect of the interaction of the renin-angiotensin system, the kallikrein-kinin system and prostaglandins is to autoregulate renal blood flow within a narrow range. Drugs and neurogenic factors also influence renal hemodynamics. T...
