Pathophysiology of Progressive Renal Disease in Children
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which an initial injury is superseded by a more gradual, chronic process of decreasing function that, in the most extreme cases, ultimately leads to the need for ...

Remnant nephron physiology and the progression of chronic kidney disease
In chronic kidney disease, ongoing failure of individual nephrons leads to the progressive loss of renal function. This process results in part from a cellular and molecular response to injury that represents ...

Tubulointerstitial injury and the progression of chronic kidney disease
In chronic kidney disease (CKD), once injury from any number of disease processes reaches a threshold, there follows an apparently irreversible course toward decline in kidney function. The tubulointerstitium ...

A conceptual framework for the molecular pathogenesis of progressive kidney disease
The data regarding the pathogenesis of progressive kidney disease implicate cytokine effects, physiological factors, and myriad examples of relatively nonspecific cellular dysfunction. The sheer volume of info...

Balance between matrix synthesis and degradation: a determinant of glomerulosclerosis
In glomerular health and disease, the balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis and degradation determines the amount of matrix that accumulates locally. While cell and whole animal regulati...
