الملخص
Acute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high> 50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene. Genetic mutation of klotho gene causes multiple premature aging-like phenotypes and shortens lifespan. Klotho gene is highly expressed in the kidney and a soluble form of klotho functions as an endocrine substance that exerts multiple actions including the modulation of renal solute transport and the protection of the kidney. This study aimed to clarify the pre treatment and/or post treatment effect of vitamin E as an antioxidant on kidney functions, klotho gene expression and glutathione peroxidase-1 gene
