Abstract

Glucocorticoids are widely used by nephrologists for their immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. The present review considers three aspects of glucocorticoids with which nephrologists may be less familiar: (i) renal metabolism; (ii) effects on renal haemodynamics; and (iii) effects on blood pressure as they relate to the kidney.
