Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed a pathophysiological study of renal injuries in a model mouse of chronic liver disease induced by a drug. The kidney of this model showed acute kidney injury with sublethal tubular cell injury and developed resistance for drug- or infection-induced renal impairment by physiological mechanisms including autophagy. This chronic liver disease model showing acute kidney injury with sublethal injury is a potentially useful tool for the study of pathophysiological mechanisms to develop resistance for renal impairment in patients with chronic liver disease, and could lead to the development of novel therapeutic and protective strategies to improve the prognosis of patients with infectious complications.
