Hepatitis C virus infection and kidney transplantation: newer options and a brighter future ahead?

abstract：:It has been shown that somatostatin inhibits the antidiuretic action of vasopressin in toad urinary bladder in vitro and in dogs and rats in vivo. The presence of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) in the urinary bladder and kidney of the toad has suggested the possibility that somatostatin may act as a local pa...
