Abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome with a high incidence, which will significantly increase the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The mechanism of AKI-CKD transition is not clear. It may include cell cycle arrest, fewer capillaries around the tubule epithelium, inflammatory cell infiltration and so on. Mitochondrial dysfunction consequently leads to oxidative stress, inflammation response and renal tubular cell apoptosis resulting in AKI-CKD transition conclusively.

Key words: acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, mitochondrion, oxidative stress
