ENDOTHELIN-1 AND ANGIOTENSIN II DRIVE KIDNEY INJURY
Endothelin-1 and angiotensin II work in tandem to drive disease progression1-3
ET-1 and Ang II play a key role in the mechanisms of disease in
Elevated levels of endothelin-1 and angiotensin II result in:
Mesangial proliferation and the inflammatory response
in IgA nephropathy2,4,5
Podocyte injury and loss
in FSGS2
See the impact of proteinuria in IgA nephropathy
Ang II=angiotensin II; ET-1=endothelin-1; FSGS=focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; IgA=immunoglobulin A.
