Higher hemoglobin levels and quality of life in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease: no longer a moving target?

abstract：:Kidney-targeted gene therapy could be an ideal treatment for renal diseases since the therapeutic molecule is limited in the kidney and the systemic effect may be minimized. The technical development of the gene delivery to kidney and the identification of the responsive gene for a particular disease encourage the cha...
