The familial clustering of renal disease and related phenotypes

Scott G Satko et al. Med Clin North Am. 2005 May.

Abstract

This article reviews the familial aggregation of chronic kidney diseases including end-stage renal disease and albuminuria, along with variation in glomerular filtration rate. In addition to environmental influences on the progression of nephropathy, epidemiologic evidence in support of the existence of renal failure susceptibility genes is presented.
