Inflammation in acute kidney injury.

In vivo effects of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells in a rat model of acute ischemic kidney injury

Objective(s): Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) as a severe condition of acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common clinical problem with high mortality rates of 35-60% deaths in hospital. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) due to unique regenerative characteristics are ideal candidates for the treatment of the ischemic injuries. This work is focused on the administration of MSC to IRI-induce...

Protective role of remote ischemic per-conditioning in acute renal injury induced by ischemia reperfusion via TLR-4 and TNF-α signaling pathway in rats

sIntroduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I / R) of the kidney as an inflammatory process in which multiple inflammatory factors are involved. Recently, one of the modalities of inflammation in AKI is Remote Ischemic Per-Conditioning (RIPerC). Materials and Methods: In this study, bilateral renal artery and vein occlusion were done for 45 minute and reperfusion a...

Increased Risk of Kidney Disorders in Patients with Coronavirus 2019: A Letter to the Editor

Background and Objectives: Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) has become a global disease that can affect various organs of the human body. Kidney disorders are the most common disorders in patients with Covid-19. Kidney involvement manifests as proteinuria and acute kidney injury (AKI). This virus can cause acute tubular necrosis, protein leakage in the Bowman's capsule, glomerulopathy, and mitochond...

The role of hormones in renal disease and ischemia-reperfusion injury

The patients with renal diseases, especially end-stage renal disease (ESRD), are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disturbances. Some hormones such as brain natriuretic peptide appear to be important serum biomarkers in predicting cardiac death in ESRD patients. Renal diseases cause inflammation, anemia, uremic toxins, fluid overload, and electrolyte disturbance. Kidney transplantation ...

Risk Factors of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Sepsis; A Cross-Sectional Study

Background and Objective: Due to the importance of acute kidney injury associated in patients with sepsis and the impact of various factors on mortality and hospital stay of these patients, this study was conducted to investigate the clinical features and risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis. In addition, we examined whether the severity of acute kidney injury affected c...
