Urinary mitochondrial <scp>DNA</scp> copy number identifies renal mitochondrial injury in renovascular hypertensive patients undergoing renal revascularization: A Pilot Study

Abstract

PTRA leads to an acute rise in urinary mtDNA, reflecting renal mitochondrial injury that in turn inhibits renal recovery. Mitoprotection might minimize PTRA-associated mitochondrial injury and improve renal outcomes after revascularization.
