Description
Summary:First of all, with the chronic inflammation caused by clinicopathologic variables during the process of renal injury, the process of the renal fibrosis will be promoted, and the tubulointerstitial cells will be activated. The kidney is an organ with a high energy requirement with low-glycolytic capacity; it depends on the synthetic action of mitochondria to synthesize ATP to meet the energy requirement for the transportation of sodium ions through the renal tubular. Since the restoration of the inner cellular ATP plays a significant role in the recovery of the cell, mitochondrial damage is involved in many nephropathies such as acute kidney injury and renal fibrosis. [...]renal fibrosis is a final stage of a variety of chronic kidney disease progression. Nonetheless, some mechanisms of drug action are still not clear. [...]more researches are need to determine the specific mechanisms of the relationship between mitochondria damage and renal fibrosis and the pharmacological effects of the drugs, in order to provide theoretical support.
