Abstract:
Despite intensive research efforts, acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome that has limited treatment options apart from supportive care. The increasing availability of molecular interrogation data from patients with Acute Kidney Injury provides an unparalleled opportunity to leverage systems biology approaches. In this review, we discuss the challenges with AKI research, explain how systems biology approaches can link molecular data to clinical phenotypes, review available molecular interrogation tools and techniques, and provide examples where systems biology approaches have been successfully applied in nephrology.
