The international realities of live donor kidney transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although apoptosis has been linked to the renal cell deletion and ensuing renal fibrosis, its regulating mechanisms remain obscure. Of the known regulators of apoptosis, the best characterized is the Bax to Bcl-2 ratio. However, its importance in controlling apoptosis in glomerulonephritis is unclear. Here, ...
