Abstract
There is increasing evidence that nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important paracrine modulators and mediators in the control of renal functions, such as overall and regional renal blood flow (RBF), renal autoregulation, glomerular filtration, renin secretion and salt excretion. NO also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several renal disease states, such as diabetic nephropathy, inflammatory glomerular disease, acute renal failure in septic shock, chronic renal failure and nephrotoxicity of drugs, conveying both beneficial effects via its hemodynamic functions and detrimental effects via its cytotoxicity when produced in large amounts by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The extensive literature on these pathophysiological functions of NO will not be covered here, and the reader is referred to the pertinent chapters (Chaps. 18, 21, 22, 23) for discussion.
