Abstract excerpt
Hyperfiltration, highly prevalent early in sickle cell disease (SCD), is in part driven by an increase in ultrafiltration coefficient (Kf). The increase in Kf may be due to enlarged filtration surface area and/or increased glomerular permeability (Palb). Previous studies have demonstrated that endothelin-1 (ET-1) contributes to Palb changes in models of diabetes and SCD. Thus, we performed longitudinal studies of...
