The Protective Role of Intermedin in Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury: Enhancing Peritubular Capillary Endothelial Cell Adhesion and Integrity through the cAMP/Rac1 Pathway
2024-08-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is a common complication in hospital-acquired renal conditions, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear and effective treatments are limited. Intermedin (IMD), a peptide related to the calcitonin gene, exhibits vasodilatory and endothelial barrier-stabilizing effects via the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR). However, the potential of IMD in mit...
