Progress on the relationship between hyperoxia exposure and renal development in premature infants / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Oxygen therapy is a common therapeutic method to improve oxygenation of premature infants, but long-term exposure to high oxygen can cause damage to immature organs and abnormal development.In addition to bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy, high oxygen levels will increase the risk of chronic kidney disease and hypertension in adulthood.High oxygen exposure can lead to kidney damage and developmental abnormalities in premature infants, including reduced number and increased volume of glomeruli, renal cell apoptosis, and abnormal development of renal tubules.The mechanism may be related to abnormal signaling pathways related to renal development.This article reviews the relationship between hyperoxia and kidney development and the possible mechanism of kidney disease, in an attempt to provide theoretical reference for early clinical intervention.
