Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major global health problem; much research has been conducted on AKI, and numerous agents have shown benefit in animal studies, but none have translated into treatments. There is, therefore, a pressing unmet need to increase knowledge of the pathophysiology of AKI. Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) provides a tool to non-invasively visualize dynamic events in real time and at high resolution in rodent kidneys, and in this article we review its application to study novel mechanisms and treatments in different forms of AKI.
急性肾损伤(AKI)是一个重大的全球健康问题;针对AKI已经开展了大量研究,并且许多药物在动物研究中显示出有益效果,但尚无一种转化为治疗方法。因此,迫切需要增加对AKI病理生理学的了解。多光子显微镜(MPM)提供了一种工具,可在啮齿动物肾脏中实时、高分辨率地非侵入性可视化动态事件,在本文中,我们综述了其在研究不同形式AKI的新机制和治疗方法中的应用。
