Özet

Objective. Along with immunologic mechanisms, intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation has been suggested to play a role in the development and progression of chronic allograft injury. In various glomerular diseases, urinary angiotensinogen (AGT) level is a good indicator for the activation of intrarenal RAS. In this study, we aimed to investigate the parameters associated with urinary AGT level in patients with kidney transplantation.
