ReviewGlomerular haemodynamics, the renal sympathetic nervous system and sepsis-induced acute kidney injury.
To describe recent insights into glomerular haemodynamics in septic acute kidney injury (AKI). ⋯ Despite a long-standing paradigm that septic AKI is due to renal hypo-perfusion and associated ATN, experimental and human studies increasingly suggest that changes in the state of the glomerular and peri-glomerular micro-vasculature are a more likely additional explanation for this condition.
