Funded Activity Summary

Acute renal failure is a common complication of any severe illness. Generally, it is the lack of blood flow, or food that leads to this problem. People who are ill are unable to provide adequate blood flow to their kidneys, so the kidneys become diseased and fail to function. This can be fatal. There are, however, mechanisms in the kidney that are designed to avoid this shortage of energy. The aim of these studies is to find out what these protective mechanisms usually do in the kidney, and understand why they are not more active. We hope to find ways to switch them on earleir, using drugs, so as to protect the kidneys from injury.
