Abstract:
Renal interstitial fibrosis is basically the common terminal pathway of various progressive renal diseases. Decrease of interstitial capillary density plays an important role in renal interstitial fibrosis. Endothelial progenitor cells can be induced to differentiate into mature vascular endothelial cells. They contribute to angiogenesis and angiopoiesis, and therefore may be a potential therapeutic approach for chronic kidney disease..
