Prevalence, pathogenesis, and functional significance of aldosterone deficiency in hyperkalemic patients with chronic renal insufficiency.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. The objective of this study was to determine whether alterations of the plasma and urinary VEGF and sFLT-1 levels were related to the stages and risk factors of diabetic nephropathy. ...
