A recent study conducted by researchers at Hainan Medical University in China explores the role of cytokines in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study highlights that CKD is characterized by irreversible changes in the structure and function of the kidney, with renal fibrosis being the most common manifestation. The research suggests that injured renal tubular epithelial cells release various cytokines, which contribute to the development of renal fibrosis. The findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of CKD and may aid in the development of novel treatments. [Extracted from the article]
