title: [Adhesion molecules in kidney diseases (part II)].
abstract: Different adhesion molecules are involved in the maintenance of tissue architecture, morphogenesis, immunosurveillance, inflammation, tumour growth, etc. Thus, this review will be directed to the role of cadherins, selectins, integrins and members of the immunoglobuline supergene family in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis, acute renal failure, reaction of renal rejection, development of renal tumours, their invasion and metastases. A better understanding of the role of adhesion molecules in nephropathology may provide new aspects of treatment of different forms of renal diseases including tumours.
