Basic/Clinical Science Session

Immune Cells and Inflammatory Signaling in AKI

October 26, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 6B, Convention Center

Session Description

Unresolved kidney injury is often associated with a dysregulated inflammatory response. The injured kidney microenvironment has a dominant role in recruiting, retaining, and activating immune cells, specifically neutrophils, macrophages, and T cells, that ultimately determine the fate of the injured kidneys. This session reviews recent advances in our understanding of the inflammatory signaling pathways in AKI.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Explain the complex roles of inflammatory signaling in mediating injury and/or repair
  • Describe spatial and temporal responses of immune-cell populations in the context of injury and maladaptive repair
  • Identify new avenues to target immune cells and inflammatory signaling to mitigate AKI severity and progression to CKD

Learning Pathway(s)

  • AKI and Critical Care
