Article Description

It has been proven that extracellular matrix turnover is involved in the pathogenesis of various renal fibrosis diseases. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2 and -9) are the extracellular matrix degrading enzymes that are believed to play important roles in renal diseases. However, the relationship of circulating levels of MMP-2, -9 and serum creatinine in the patients of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not yet been investigated.
