Abstrakt: Background. Chronic hypoxia in the kidney has been suggested as a final common pathway to end-stage renal disease. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a transcription factor that regulates cellular hypoxic responses, and it is a promising target with therapeutic potential in various kidney disease models. In this study, we investigated whether HIF activation could attenuate renal injury in the rat remnant kidney model. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
