Abstract
1 min read
These results indicate that the ultrastructure of the filtration slit diaphragm is altered in patients with IgA nephropathy as a consequence of targeted downregulation of extracellular nephrin. Further studies are needed to evaluate the pathophysiological meaning of nephrin abnormality in IgA nephropathy and how these changes can be modulated by antiproteinuric therapy.
