Abstract excerpt
Heat shock protein (HSP)70 plays an important role in the ischemic tolerance of fetal and neonatal kidney. We have investigated the association of genetic polymorphisms of the constitutive HSP70 (HSP73) and the inducible HSP70 (HSP72) encoding genes with the risk of acute renal failure (ARF) in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. Thirty-seven VLBW neonates with ARF and 93 VLBW neonates without ARF were...
