A diagram of the events pictured in the classical or underfill hypothesis of nephrotic oedema. It is possible that this sequence is dominant in childhood patients developing oedema with sudden onset of severe proteinuria in a setting of minimal change disease, but this is an inadequate explanation for the continued presence of oedema in most nephrotic patients (see text for detailed discussion).

  • * Angiotensin II plays a central role in renal disease. An activated reninangiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS) promotes both systemic and glomerular hypertension, which can induce haemodynamic injury to the vascular endothelium and glomerulus.1 Angiotensin II, the primary agent of the RAAS, is a mediator of a range of responses, most immediately blood pressure increase by angiotensin-induced renal vasoconstriction and the secretion of aldosterone which leads to increased sodium and water resorption. The role of angiotensin II in hypertension is complex and involves several feedback loops. When chronically elevated, angiotensin II leads to hypertension, which in turn leads to further activation of angiotensin II and establishes a feedback loop leading to further activation.2 In addition, direct profibrotic and proinflammatory actions of angiotensin II and aldosterone may also promote kidney damage.1 The AT1 receptor is responsible for most of the pathophysiological actions of angiotensin II.1

    *TGF-Angiotensin II and Thrombospondin (TSP1) can both stimulate the production of transforming growth factor-b (TGF-) by tubuloepithelial cells and fibroblasts. TGF-, in turn, causes proliferation of fibroblasts and tubuloepithelial cells. TGF- ultimately increases extracellular matrix proteins, likely by several mechanisms. 1) TGF- stimulates production of several growth factors including basis fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) that stimulate the formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. 2) TGF- also has a direct effect on ECM protein expression. 3) TGF- stimulates the formation of the receptors to which ECM proteins adhere. 4) TGF- increases the expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases (TIMP) that, in turn, prevents proteases from degrading ECM proteins. 5) TGF- stimulates the endothelial cell production of endothelin-1 (ET-1). The effects of ET-1 are illustrated on a separate slide.
