Urinary endothelin-1-like immunoreactivity excretion in Wilms’ tumor survivors

Abstract

According to our results, uET-1 L seems to be a marker of glomerular injury in patients with renal mass loss revealing renal overload condition. The uET-1 L role in renal damage progression and hemodynamic glomerular worsening in nephrectomized patients should be proven by prospective long-term follow-up studies, even for potential ET-1 receptor antagonist therapeutic use.
