Metabolic Reprogramming and Host Tolerance: A Novel Concept to Understand Sepsis-Associated AKI

Abstract excerpt

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of sepsis that increases mortality and the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease. However, the mechanisms leading to sepsis-associated AKI are still poorly understood. The recognition that sepsis induces organ dysfunction in the absence of overt necrosis or apoptosis has led to the consideration that tubular epithelial cells (TEC) may deploy defense...
