Basic/Clinical Science Session

Maladaptive Responses in AKI

November 04, 2021 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Location: On-Demand, Virtual Only

Session Description

Recently, there has been an increased appreciation of the long-term sequelae of AKI and the potential development of CKD. The complex interplay between endothelial cells, immune cells, pericytes, and fibroblasts often converge in the tubular epithelial cells that play a central role. This session discusses the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in maladaptive tissue responses following AKI.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Discuss novel transcriptional signatures revealed by single-cell transcriptional profiling of AKI and assess their potential implications in the AKI-to-CKD transition
  • Discuss the role of hypermethylation in maintaining a profibrotic pericyte phenotype
  • Examine the role of oxidative stress in AKI-to-CKD transition
  • Describe how tissue repair signaling pathways after AKI may drive neoplastic growth

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Acute Kidney Injury
  • Chronic Kidney Disease
