Summary
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a widespread problem affecting both native and transplanted kidneys. Studies indicate that the incidence has increased more than 200-fold in the last decade, as has mortality. AKI also predisposes to the development of chronic kidney disease. There is no effective therapeutic for treatment or prevention of AKI. This project will investigate new cell signalling pathways regulating AKI with a view to developing these as novel clinical therapies.
