Up-regulation of the lncRNA XIST and angiotensin II (Ang II) and kidney and podocyte injury were indicated in kidney tissue of patients with membranous nephropathy.
The ACE, AGT, and eNOS genes were correlated with the development of renal function failure in IgAN, whereas the ACE and eNOS genes were associated with the degree of proteinuria and the development of renal function failure in MN.
