Association of APOL1 variants with mild kidney disease in the first-degree relatives of African American patients with non-diabetic end-stage renal disease.

abstract：:Angiotensin II plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure, body salt and fluid balance, and urine concentration. Mice with deletion of the AT(1a) receptor develop polyuria and urine concentration defects. We studied the mechanisms of these urine concentration defects by treating wild-type and AT(1a)-k...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Dopamine (DA) is thought to regulate renal proximal transport through the inhibition of the Na+,K+-ATPase and/or Na+/H+ exchanger. Defects in this dopaminergic system are proposed to be a pathogenic factor of genetic hypertension. However, microperfusion studies have not consistently confirmed direct tubular...
