Development of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in chronic kidney disease

Finding new pathogenic factors that affect the progression of chronic diseases is an important step in the fight against these diseases. In this review, the causes and role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered. In this context, the importance of mitochondria for kidney cells in general and proximal tubule cells in particular, as well as the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of CKD, are also discussed. The causes of mitochondrial dysfunction in CKD and the consequences of the development of pathological conditions as a result of impaired mitochondrial activity are analyzed in detail.
