Lactate-dependent metabolic rewiring is associated with CD163 <sup>+</sup> macrophage polarization in human pyelonephritis
2026-04-13
Abstract excerpt
Chronic pyelonephritis is characterized by persistent bacterial infection of the kidney and a dysregulated immune response that promotes disease progression. Macrophages are central regulators of antibacterial immunity in the urinary tract. However, the mechanisms underlying their functional reprogramming in chronic infection remain poorly understood. Here, we identify lactate as a key metabolic determinant of mac...
