Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very common condition encountered in a hospital setting. AKI is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality. In this review, we discuss in detail about the tubular, inflammatory and vascular molecular targets of AKI which may result in therapies to improve mortality and biomarkers for earlier diagnosis of AKI.
