Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most serious diseases of human being. A lot of researches on the kidney fibrosis, which plays the core role in the progression of CKD, have been conducted recently. Many studies' results indicated that different cells of kidney have different effects on tissue fibrosis and regeneration. Different subgroup of inflammatory cells may actively support the regeneration process. According to these researches, many new methods were developed to treat the kidney fibrosis, including anti-transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) treatment, anti-oxidative stress, anti-vascular calcification, and anti-chemokines treatments. Mesenchymal stem cells or other cells have been tested for treatment of kidney fibrosis. It will be possible to inhibit, stop, or even reverse kidney fibrosis in the future.

Key words: chronic kidney disease, fibrosis, treatment
