Abstract:

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a group of critical syndromes, which is caused by multiple causes and characterized by rapid decline in renal function and accumulation of metabolic waste. The incidence of AKI is increasing, and it has a high mortality rate in the intensive care unit. Currently, the clinical diagnosis of AKI is based on the level of serum creatinine and the urine output, which are not sensitive and timely to indicate renal injury. And there are no effective methods for the treatment of AKI yet. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the urine are derived from the renal intrinsic cells, and participate in the pathophysiological process of the kidney, playing an important role in the process of AKI. In addition, EVs are natural nano-scale membrane vesicles that can be used for targeting the kidney to deliver therapeutic molecules and alleviate the kidney damage. This article reviewed the types, recognition, and physiological functions of EVs, and focused on the diagnostic and therapeutic value of EVs in AKI.

Key words: Acute kidney injury, Extracellular vesicles, Diagnosis, Treatment
