Vegfa promoter gene hypermethylation at HIF1α binding site is an early contributor to CKD progression after renal ischemia
Abstract Chronic hypoxia is a major contributor to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) after Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). However, the temporal relation between the acute insult and maladaptive renal response to hypoxia remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the time-course of renal hemodynamics, oxidat...

However, the temporal relation between the acute insult and maladaptive renal response to hypoxia remains unclear.
