High molecular weight plasma proteins induce apoptosis and Fas/FasL expression in human proximal tubular cells

Background. In proteinuria, proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) are exposed to abnormally high protein concentrations, eventually leading to tubular atrophy and end-stage renal disease. The mode of cell death leading to tubular atrophy in proteinuria has not been fully established. This study...
