Circulating urokinase receptor as a cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), or kidney scarring, is difficult to treat and is often only curable with kidney transplantation. However, FSGS often recurs after transplantation, and ~40 years ago, an unknown soluble factor in the recipient was hypothesized to exist to explain such cases....

| Summary: | Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), or kidney scarring, is difficult to treat and is often only curable with kidney transplantation. However, FSGS often recurs after transplantation, and ~40 years ago, an unknown soluble factor in the recipient was hypothesized to exist to explain such cases. Jochen Reiser and his colleagues use data from human and mouse studies to show that soluble uPAR may be the long-sought-after soluble factor. |
