Kidney health: Scientists FINALLY found a ‘simple’ way to reverse kidney damage – when is the cure coming?
Can kidney damage be reversed? A breakthrough study in mice In a developing field where treatment often focuses on symptom management rather than root causes, a new study has sparked cautious optimism about reversing kidney damage. Researchers report that blocking specific lipid molecules, ceramides, can fully reverse acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice by protecting…

New Drug Shields Mitochondria and Prevents Kidney Injury in Mice
Scientists unveil a breakthrough drug that protects mitochondria and guards against acute kidney injury Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious and sometimes fatal condition triggered by a range of stressors, from sepsis to surgical shock. It can rapidly impair short-term kidney function and increase the long-term risk of chronic kidney disease. In a new…

New drug protects mitochondria and prevents kidney injury in mice
Overview: A breakthrough in protecting the kidneys Acute kidney injury (AKI) can be a serious, life-threatening condition that disrupts short-term kidney function and raises the risk of long-term chronic kidney disease. Researchers are continually seeking strategies to prevent AKI and minimize kidney damage when stressors such as sepsis, toxins, or surgical procedures trigger the injury.…
