چکیده

Acute kidney injury causes significant morbidity and mortality in the community and clinic. Various pathologies, including renal and cardiovascular disease, traumatic injury/rhabdomyolysis, sepsis, and nephrotoxicity, that cause acute kidney injury (AKI), induce general or regional decreases in renal blood flow. The ensuing renal hypoxia and ischemia promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radical anions, peroxides, and hydroxyl radicals, that can oxidatively damage biomolecules and membranes, and affect organelle function and induce renal tubule cell injury, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction. Acute kidney injury is associated with increased oxidative damage, and various endogenous and synthetic antioxidants that mitigate source and derived oxidants are beneficial in cell-based and animal studies. However, the benefit of synthetic antioxidant supplementation in human acute kidney injury and renal disease remains to be realized. The endogenous low-molecular weight, non-proteinaceous antioxidant, ascorbate (vitamin C), is a promising therapeutic in human renal injury in critical illness and nephrotoxicity. Ascorbate may exert significant protection by reducing reactive oxygen species and renal oxidative damage via its antioxidant activity, and/or by its non-antioxidant functions in maintaining hydroxylase and monooxygenase enzymes, and endothelium and vascular function. Ascorbate supplementation may be particularly important in renal injury patients with low vitamin C status.

Protective Effect of Pomegranate Seed Oil Against Acute Toxicity of Diazinon in Rat Kidney

Diazinon is an organophosphate which is extensively used in trade and agriculture. Due to its widespread application, its toxicity is common. Several studies have shown that organophosphates are able to induce oxidative stress by generating free radicals and depletion of endogenous antioxidants. Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In this study, the e...

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...

Role of acetaminophen in reducing risk of kidney injury from Rhabdomyolysis: A Narrative Review

Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome that results in releasing myoglobin content from damaged muscle cells into circulation and often causes acute kidney injury (1). Different mechanisms are considered to be responsible in rhabdomyolysis and renal failure. However, free radical generation is the most important mechanism resulting in kidney injury. Thus, the effect ...

Protective effects of celecoxib on ischemia reperfusion–induced acute kidney injury: comparing between male and female rats

Objective(s): There is increasing evidence for the importance of gender in different diseases; however, the role of gender in response to treatments is still unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of gender on the protective effects of celecoxib in ischemia reperfusion (IR)-induced acute kidney injury.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, rats were randomly divided ...
