Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) that is associated with a patient mortality of up to 50%. Currently there are not effective pharmacologic therapies for AKI. This Commentary highlights recent evidence indicating that 20-HETE plays an important role in IRI and that drugs that target this pathway have potential as therapeutic agents for AKI.Entities:
