Abstract

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), as a common renal dysfunction in sepsis, has become one of the major diseases threatening human health with increasing morbidity and mortality. Based on the theory of "gut-kidney axis", the intestine and kidney have a two-way synergistic relationship in sepsis. Intestinal flora imbalance, endogenous metabolite imbalance, and impaired endothelial barrier integrity are involved in renal injury, and the increase of renal inflammatory mediators interferes with the composition of intestinal microorganisms. Therefore, understanding the intestinal-renal crosstalk mechanism of SA-AKI will help to provide a potential basis for new treatment strategies for SA-AKI.
