Abstract

It has been suggested that the cytokine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, but its role in nephropathy has not been clearly demonstrated. Assessment of VEGF, 125I-VEGF binding, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2...
