Abstract excerpt
Chronic progressive renal function loss is a main cause of long-term graft loss after initially successful renal transplantation. Transplanted kidneys share some risk factors for renal function loss, such as hypertension or proteinuria, with diseased native kidneys. Recently, it has been shown that renal function loss is influenced by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (insertion/deletion [I/D]) genotype in...
