ACE gene polymorphism and renal scar in children with acute pyelonephritis.

Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany) - 1 Jul 2002

Cho Su Jin, Lee Seung Joo

Abstract excerpt

The pathogenesis of renal scarring after acute pyelonephritis (APN) in children is multifactorial. In addition to well-known risk factors (young age, high grade of vesicoureteral reflux, P-fimbriated Escherichia coli, and treatment delay), a role for genetic predisposition has been suggested. Since the ACE gene deletion polymorphism is a known risk factor for progressive glomerulosclerosis in chronic renal...
