Because of the heterogeneous aetiology of kidney diseases, interactions between multiple genetic and environmental factors are thought to be involved in the process of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Raised blood pressure remains a well-established, independent risk factor for a more rapid decline of renal function in various kidney diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of the human SA gene Pst1 polymorphism in the development and/or progression of chronic renal failure (CRF).
