Abstract
Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), a widely applied plasticizer in various products, can be absorbed into the human body through several channels and accumulate in the lungs, liver, testes, and kidneys, potentially impairing the function of these organs. Recently, the nephrotoxicity of DEHP has received heightened attention. Numerous epidemiologic findings have demonstrated that DEHP exposure may contribute to renal damage, leading to structural and functional abnormalities and exacerbating the progression of kidney disease. Recent research has discovered the mechanisms behind DEHP-induced nephrotoxicity may involve a variety of pathways, including apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA damage, and lipid metabolism disorders. This review discusses the impact of DEHP on kidney function and delves into the molecular mechanisms of nephrotoxicity mediated by DEHP in recent years. In addition, the review examines evidence for the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities of lycopene, green tea polyphenols, and quercetin in ameliorating DEHP-induced renal injury is reviewed, providing a basis for further research.
