Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid and significant decrease in renal function that can arise from various etiologies, and is associated with high morbidity and ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common disease with high morbidity that still lacks effective drug treatments. The death of tubular epithelial cells is the principal basis for AKI. This cell death in ...

When our kidneys are acutely damaged, it can cause necrotic injury, which is the death of cells in the kidney. A new study from Aarhus University has now found that the cell damage spreads over ...

The recent development of a human kidney cell atlas will help researchers better understand the factors contributing to disease states and provide a critical foundation to help discover new treatments ...

The authors review the pathophysiology, revised diagnostic definitions, and management of acute kidney injury, a common condition in patients with cirrhosis.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a short-term life-threatening condition that, if survived, can lead to renal insufficiency and development of chronic kidney disease. The pathogenesis of AKI ...

Myoglobin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most severe complications of RM. Based on our previous research, exogenous biological renal support alleviates renal ischemia–reperfusion ...
