Some mechanisms of progressive renal failure and effects of treatment. Comparative contributions of high intraglomerular pressure, maladaptive trophic changes resulting in glomerular fibrosis, and tubular damage are debated and may vary according to underlying disease. Not shown are possible contributions of dyslipidaemia, intrarenal vascular damage, and phosphate retention
