Kidney inflammation is a major contributor of progressive renal injury leading to glomerulonephritis and chronic kidney disease. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of leukocyte accumulation in the kidney, emphasizing critical chemokines involved in glomerulonephritis. We discuss features of renal inflammation such as the evolving concept of immune cell plasticity. We also describe certain aspects of organ-specific tissue microenvironments in shaping immune cell responses, as well as the current knowledge of how regulatory T lymphocytes impact other immune effector cell populations to control inflammation. It is clear that present and future research in these areas may contribute to the development of novel targeted therapeutics, with the hope of alleviating the burden of end-stage renal disease.
