Am J Kidney Dis
. 2006 Apr;
47(5):751-60.
PMID: 16632013
Background: Previous studies showed that angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) therapy decreased proteinuria and possibly slowed the rate of renal function decline in patients with chronic proteinuric nephropathies. We performed a double-blind,...

Genetic polymorphism of vascular endothelial growth factor: impact on progression of IgA nephropathy
Chow K, Szeto C, Lai F, Poon P, Wong T, Kam-Tao Li P
Ren Fail
. 2006 Mar;
28(1):15-20.
PMID: 16526314
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a pivotal role in the capillary endothelial cell growth and proliferation and has known effects on glomerular microvascular permeability. Because certain VEGF polymorphisms...

Am J Kidney Dis
. 2005 Sep;
46(4):713-9.
PMID: 16183427
Background: Glycemic control is important in determining the outcome of patients with diabetes on dialysis therapy. However, the choice of oral hypoglycemia agent is limited in these patients. Very often,...

. 2005 Feb;
99(4):e95-e104.
PMID: 15703462
Background: Previous studies found that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) plays a conflicting role in peritoneal fibrosis. We hypothesise that TGF-beta acts on peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMC) via VEGF and CTGF...

Arthritis Rheum
. 2004 Oct;
50(9):2882-90.
PMID: 15457456
Objective: Lupus nephritis is characterized by intrarenal inflammation. To assess the extent and severity of disease activity and renal involvement, this study examined the expression of transforming growth factor beta...

Perit Dial Int
. 2004 Apr;
24(1):58-64.
PMID: 15104337
Objective: Previous studies show that peritoneal Kt/V is an independent predictor of survival in anuric patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We studied whether peritoneal Kt/V has the same...

Kidney Int
. 2004 Apr;
65(5):1947-55.
PMID: 15086939
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a pivotal role in the peritoneal angiogenesis and hyperpermeability in patients on peritoneal dialysis. We hypothesis that VEGF genetic polymorphism may affect the...
