Long-Term Kidney Disease and Aging of Body Cells

Updated

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney aging are linked by the accumulation of senescent cells, which may contribute to disease progression.

  • Cellular senescence is associated with chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the kidneys.
  • The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) plays a role in the detrimental effects of senescent cells.
  • Various senotherapeutic strategies, including senolytics and senomorphics, are explored as potential interventions.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) may enhance the detection and monitoring of senescent cells in both experimental and clinical contexts.
  • Understanding the mechanisms of senescence could lead to targeted treatments aimed at slowing CKD progression.
