Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global public health concern associated with high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Other than dialysis, no therapeutic interventions reliably improve survival, limit injury, or speed recovery. Despite recognized shortcomings of in vivo animal models, the underlying pathophysiology of AKI and its consequence, chronic kidney disease (CKD), is rich with biological targets. We review recent findings relating to the renal vasculature and cellular stress responses, primarily the intersection of the unfolded protein response, mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy, and the innate immune response. Maladaptive repair mechanisms that persist following the acute phase promote inflammation and fibrosis in the chronic phase. Here macrophages, growth-arrested tubular epithelial cells, the endothelium, and surrounding pericytes are key players in the progression to chronic disease. Better understanding of these complex interacting pathophysiological mechanisms, their relative importance in humans, and the utility of biomarkers will lead to therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat AKI or impede progression to CKD or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). 293 Click here to view this article's online features: • Download figures as PPT slides • Navigate linked references • Download citations • Explore related articles • Search keywords ANNUAL REVIEWS Further A nn u.

ME67CH20-Bonventre ARI 7 December 2015 20:53 AKI: acute kidney injury CKD: chronic kidney disease ESRD: end-stage renal disease INTRODUCTION Despite harmonization in clinical definition and staging, identification of novel renal biomarkers for clinical use, and progress in understanding the underlying pathophysiology, acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a major unmet medical need without any pharmacological treatments. It continues to be a global public health concern impacting ∼13.3 million patients per year (1). Moreover, although direct causality between AKI and death has been controversial, AKI associates with high morbidity, increased costs, and mortality—about 1.7 million deaths per year (1). In lowerand middle-income countries, lack of access to trained healthcare professionals and underutilization of diagnostic tests and dialysis further contribute to the already high human burden and a marked underestimation of the true prevalence of AKI (2), prompting the International Society of Nephrology in 2015 to institute the 0by25 initiative, that is, zero preventable deaths from AKI by 2025 (1). Furthermore, whereas in the developed world AKI tends to manifest in older patients in the Intensive Care Unit, in lowerto middle-income countries young adults and women are particularly prone and at risk of death (3, 4). Among those patients who survive, long-term outcomes of AKI can include the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), or exacerbation of pre-existing CKD accelerating the progression to ESRD (5, 6). Thus, AKI, previously thought to have a benign course in patients who recovered, can lead to poor quality of life and high long-term costs (5, 7). For these many reasons, treatments are needed to reduce the high morbidity and mortality and improve recovery of renal function; however, the multifactorial etiology of AKI and the complicated clinical course of this patient population has created challenges in the search for pharmacological agents that work. In the hospital setting, generalized or localized ischemic injury to the kidney due to surgery, sepsis or trauma, and toxic responses to medications (often in combination) account for many cases of AKI. Toxins (radiocontrast agents, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, etc.) can directly injure the nephron or cause ischemic injury or both. In community-acquired AKI, dehydration, infection, and toxins, usually in association with acute illness, are frequent causes. This diverse and complex etiology coupled with a heterogeneous patient population provide unique treatment challenges and potential opportunities in the AKI-to-CKD continuum. In some cases, such as surgery, the timing of the insult is known and one might intervene prior to the insult. Alternatively, one might intervene after the patient has been diagnosed with AKI to attempt to enhance recovery and reduce progression to CKD/ESRD in patients at high risk. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the field, with a particular focus on novel pathophysiological mechanisms found in preclinical animal models that may offer new opportunities for therapeutic intervention in humans.
