ISN Forefronts Symposium 2015: The Evolution of Hypertension–Old Genes, New Concepts
Hypertension is known as the "silent killer," driving the global public health burden of cardiovascular and renal disease. Blood pressure homeostasis is intimately associated with sodium balance and the distribution of sodium between fluid compartments and within tissues. On a population level, most societies consume 10 times more salt that the 0.5 g required by physiological need. This high sa...

M onocytes and macrophages are key components of the mononuclear phagocyte system. Whereas dendritic cells are specialized for immune surveillance and the activation of the adaptive immune system, macrophages are highly phagocytic cells that are involved in tissue development and homeostasis, inflammation, fibrosis, and tissue repair. Difficulties can arise, however, as there is significant ove...

The ISN Forefronts in Nephrology Symposium took place 8-11 September 2005 in Kartause Ittingen, Switzerland. It was dedicated to the memory of Robert W. Berliner, who died at age 86 on 5 February 2002. Dr Berliner contributed in a major way to our understanding of potassium transport in the kidney. Starting in the late 1940s, without knowledge of how potassium was transported across specific ne...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the major reason for end stage renal disease in the western world. Patients with DN developed more severe cardiovascular complications with worse prognosis. In spite of tight blood pressure and glucose control through applying angiotensin II receptor antagonism, angiotensin receptor inhibitors and even direct renin inhibitors, the progression and development of DN h...
متن کاملISN Forefronts Symposium 2015: Maintaining Balance Under Pressure—Hypertension and the Proximal Tubule
Renal control of effective circulating volume is key for circulatory performance. When renal Na+ excretion is inadequate, blood pressure rises and serves as a homeostatic signal to drive natriuresis to re-establish effective circulating volume (ECV). Recognizing that hypertension involves both renal and vascular dysfunction, this report concerns proximal tubule Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (PT NHE3) regu...
