Microvascular endothelial injury and dysfunction during ischemic acute renal failure

Abstract: The pathophysiology of ischemic acute renal failure (ARF) appears to involve a complex interplay between renal hemodynamics, tubular injury, and inflammatory processes. While the current paradigm of the pathophysiology of ischemic ARF invokes both sublethal and lethal tubular injury as being of paramount importance to diminished renal function, a growing body of evidence supports the contribution of altered renal vascular function in potentially initiating and subsequently extending the initial tubular injury.… Show more

“…Among several causes of AKI after cardiac surgery one of the most important is cellular ischemia [15], since blood pressure during cardiac surgery is often at the lower limits or even below the limits of autoregulation of the blood flow. In addition, many cardiac surgery patients may have impaired autoregulation of kidney blood flow due perioperative administration of medications.…”

“…Exacerbation of IRI in these mice was complement dependent and was associated with C3 and MAC deposition on microvascular endothelium and with evidence of peritubular capillary thrombosis. Our results suggest that complement-mediated microvascular injury, leading to an extension phase of ATN that compounds the initial ischemic assault (17), may be an important mechanism of complement injury during renal IRI. Thus, anti-complement therapies in the setting of IRI should be directed at blocking anaphylatoxin function as well as at preventing MAC-induced endothelial injury.…”

“…In the CPB setting, a potential etiology of cardiac‐surgery–related AKI is ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which can result in tubular epithelial and vascular endothelial damage 6, 7, 8. α‐Melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH) is an endogenous hormone that inhibits inflammatory, cytotoxic, and apoptotic pathways, thus preventing renal injury caused by I/R‐induced AKI 9, 10, 11.…”
