Protection of renal injury under special working environment / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

[Abstract] China has a vast territory and often needs workers in a special environment. Working and training in a special environment (such as high temperature, plateau anoxia, cold, long voyage, and so on) will put forward higher requirements for the body, and the body will also have adaptive changes. However, once the compensation range of the body is exceeded, there will be a series of discomfort and even pathological changes. A small number of literatures have described the major changes of the whole body under various special conditions, but there is still a lack of related summary of the metabolic changes, compensatory changes and pathological changes of kidney under various extreme environments. Therefore, the compensatory modification of the kidney and the possible causes of injury in various special environments have been summarized and analyzed in present paper, and combined with the related pathophysiological mechanism, the related protective measures of kidney have also been introduced.
