Genetic factor plays an important role in the progression of chronic kidney diseases and in the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Present studies on ESRD, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and renal fibrosis have demonstrated a great number of genetic variants that are associated with the susceptibility to ESRD by different genetic study strategies. These results may provide novel insights about the development and prevention of ESRD. |
