Regulated cell death in chronic kidney disease: current evidence and future clinical perspectives

Abstract excerpt

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the progressive loss of kidney function/structure over a period of at least 3 months. It is characterised histologically by the triad of cell loss, inflammation and fibrosis. This literature review focuses on the forms of cell death that trigger downstream inflammation and fibrosis, collectively called regulated cell death (RCD) pathways. Discrete forms of RCD have emerged as...
