firstly, wow, you are very thorough. i appreciate this.
a question came to mind, what level of hypertension is going to result in apoptosis in the kidneys? any idea before i search for an answer? perhaps/probably the answer is individualistic but also surely there is a general rule of thumb. if my BP reaches 140/85 is that going to result in apoptosis?
also, we agree that some AAS are directly toxic to the kidneys (some seem not to be, at least in reasonable dosages), do you know how this “direct” toxicity differ in comparison to apoptosis caused by BP, and plaque?
Is all high blood pressure caused by plaque and the like (the narrowing of blood vessels and arteries) or are there other causes?
FSGS, i guess i can find answers to all these questions by myself. :))
