Abstract
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins are implicated in the growth regulation of the kidney during embryogenesis and differentiation. Recent evidence also suggests that IGFs play a role in kidney physiology (glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow) and pathology (diabetic renal hypertrophy, nephritis, glomerulosclerosis, kidney tumours, chronic renal failure). This review focuses on the biology of IGFs at the molecular, protein and receptor levels and considers their importance in renal physiology and pathology. The current data demonstrate a central role for the IGFs in the mediation of a wide variety of effects on renal growth, function and malignancy.Keywords
