The role of renal tubular Injury in the transition from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease / 医学研究生学报

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an acute and critical kidney disease that seriously threatens human health and even life. It can lead to the chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESRD), causing global public health problems. At present, the transition mechanism from AKI to CKD has not been fully elucidated, and renal tubular injury may play an important role in it. This paper reviews the role of renal tubular injury in the transition from AKI to CKD including cell dedifferentiation, inflammatory cell infiltration, hypoxia and vascular density decline, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, G2/M cell cycle arrest, autophagy, TGFβ signaling pathway and Wnt signaling pathway.
