Abstract

The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasing. It is now widely accepted that patients surviving an episode of AKI have a significant risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and even end-stage renal failure. Zager and colleagues describe the role of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the progression of AKI to CKD and provide a basis for the potential use of ET receptor antagonists as a therapeutic strategy in AKI.
