Angiopoietin-1 therapy enhances fibrosis and inflammation following folic acid-induced acute renal injury.

abstract：:In uremic patients resistance to the action of insulin has been documented, but it is not known at what stage of renal disease it appears. We therefore examined 29 patients with IgA glomerulonephritis (IgAGN) and 21 patients with adult polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in different stages of renal failure, and in addi...
