Transforming growth factor-[beta](TGF-[beta]) is a multi functional cytokine and a major regulator of tissue repair and extracellular matrix. Recent studies show that TGF-[beta] over expression in experimental and human kidney diseases leads to progressive glomerular and tubulointerstitial scarring and renal failure. New evidence suggests that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and a low-protein diet may slow the progression of chronic kidney diseases in part by suppressing TGF-[beta] over expression. New therapies may prevent progressive fibrosis in chronic kidney disease by suppressing the action of TGF-[beta]
