End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a complex phenotype resulting from underlying kidney diseases of different etiologies as well as from environmental and genetic factors. The responsible genes influencing the development and rate of progression to ESRD have yet to be defined. We examined an association of the three renin-angiotensin system (RAS) gene polymorphisms with renal disease and progression to ESRD in dialyzed patients.
