Uric acid causes kidney injury through inducing fibroblast expansion, Endothelin-1 expression, and inflammation

BACKGROUND: Uric acid (UA) plays important roles in inducing renal inflammation, intra-renal vasoconstriction and renal damage. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a well-known profibrotic factor in the kidney and is associated with fibroblast expansion. We examined the role of hyperuricemia conditions in causin...
