Stimuli that have been shown in experimental conditions to promote growth and glomerulosclerosis include loss of renal mass, high protein or high salt diet, various hormones such as growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor (IGF), androgens, and glucocorticoids; and vasoactive molecules such as angiotensin or endothelin14. Hypertrophic stimuli accelerate sclerosis, while interventions that dampen glomerular hypertrophy often also ameliorate glomerulosclerosis. The latter include low protein or low salt or low phosphate diet, ablation of androgen effects by castration, antagonism of growth hormone with octreotide, a somatostatin analog, genetic defects in growth hormone or inhibition of angiotensin or endothelin.

The hypertrophic response and subsequent development of sclerosis are dependent on the genetic background, suggesting that complex genetic traits modulate the response of glomerular cells to pathogenic stimuli. Mice with reduced nephron number due to a radiation-induced mutation that results in 50% nephron reduction in association with oligosyndactyly (Os+/+) developed severe glomerular enlargement and sclerosis when this abnormality occurred on the sclerosis-prone ROP genetic background, but not in C57 mice15. Glomerular hypertrophy was proportional to reduction of nephron mass in the former strain. In contrast, a threshold for glomerular size was observed in the C57 mice. The interplay of genetic background and response to injury is also well recognized in humans, where only 40% of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus develop diabetic nephropathy (see below).

The age of injury also modifies the growth response to renal ablation. In young animals where maturational growth is occurring, injury after renal ablation was more severe than in adults16. Hemodynamic factors were not different among the two age groups. Although glomerular enlargement occurred to greater degree in the young compared to the adult rat after renal ablation, glomerular enlargement occurred proportionally in both superficial and deep nephron populations, with more severe glomerulosclerosis in deep nephrons in young animals. This increased sclerosis was postulated to be related to factors unique in the young growing kidney, which is characterized by centripetal growth and differentiation.
