EFFECTS OF PODODCYTE DYSFUNCTION ON THE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO HYPERTENSIVE GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS
Podocytes play an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of glomerular capillaries. There is a limited capacity of podocytes to reproduce; therefore, they are required to support a greater capillary surface area in states of glomerular hypertrophy (i.e., reduced podocyte density).
