Abstract
Our study revealed profibrotic MMP/TIMP constellations in RTR that show an imbalance in plasma MMP-2 and MMP-9 with increased plasma and urinary TIMPs. The net proteolytic potential of increased plasma and urinary MMP-9 may be diminished significantly by enhanced plasma and urine TIMP activities.
