Endogenous Hepatocyte Growth Factor Attenuates Inflammatory Response in Glycerol-Induced Acute Kidney Injury

Abstract

Endogenous HGF attenuates the renal inflammatory response, leukocyte infiltration and Th1 polarization after glycerol injection. The control of cellular immune response may partly explain the protective effect of endogenous HGF in the development of Gly-AKI.
