Epidemiology of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis as a mirror of prospective trials.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although the existence of multiple isoforms of plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) is now well documented, their biological functions are not yet known. In this study, we set out to investigate the potential role of PMCA isoforms, previously identified in renal cortical tissue, in tubular reabsorption of c...
