The induction of macrophage hemeoxygenase-1 is protective during acute kidney injury in aging mice

TLDR
Failure of HO-1 induction following renal IRI worsens structural and functional injury in older mice and represents a therapeutic target in the elderly, Hence, HO- 1-positive renal macrophages mediate HA-induced protection in IRI.

Mechanisms of maladaptive repair after AKI leading to accelerated kidney ageing and CKD

TL;DR: This Review explores the various mechanisms responsible for the initiation and propagation of acute kidney injury, the prototypic mechanisms by which a substantially damaged kidney can regenerate its normal architecture, and how the adaptive processes of repair can become maladaptive.

Acute Kidney Injury Increases Risk of ESRD among Elderly

TL;DR: Elderly individuals with AKI, particularly those with previously diagnosed CKD, are at significantly increased risk for ESRD, suggesting that episodes of AKI may accelerate progression of renal disease.

Incidence and Mortality of Acute Renal Failure in Medicare Beneficiaries, 1992 to 2001

TL;DR: The incidence rate of ARF in Medicare beneficiaries has been increasing and those of older age, male gender, and black race are more likely to have ARF, which is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients.

Different faces of the heme-heme oxygenase system in inflammation

TL;DR: Pre-induction of HO activity has been demonstrated to ameliorate inflammation and mediate potent resistance to oxidative injury and a better understanding of the complex heme-heme.

Galectin-3 expression and secretion links macrophages to the promotion of renal fibrosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that galectin-3 expression and secretion by macrophages is a major mechanism linking macrophage to the promotion of renal fibrosis.

The role of heme oxygenase-1 promoter polymorphisms in human disease.

TL;DR: The present article systematically review the hitherto published evidence that promoter polymorphisms in the HO-1 gene exert functional importance by influencing the level ofHO-1 expression in different organ systems to suggest an important endogenous protective factor.
