Septic conditions contribute to tissue hypoxia, potentially leading to multiple organ failure, including acute kidney injury. The regulation of cellular adaptation to low oxygen levels is regulated by hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs). While the role of HIFs in ischaemia/reperfusion is more studied, their function in sepsis-induced renal injury is not well characterized. In this study, we investigated whether pharmacological activation of HIFs by suppression of prolyl-hydroxylases (PHDs) protects against septic acute kidney injury.
