Secondary nephrosis is a series of chronic kidney diseases secondary to other underlying diseases,mainly manifesting as structural and functional abnormalities of the kidneys and metabolic disorders.It is one of the important causes of end-stage renal disease,with high morbidity and significant harm.Iron is an essential metal element in human cells,and ferroptosis is a non-traditional form of iron-dependent cell death,and its main mechanisms include iron accumulation,lipid metabolism disorders,abnormal amino acid metabolism,and damage to the antioxidant system.Recently studies have found that ferroptosis is involved in the occurrence and progression of secondary nephrosis,and the mechanism of ferroptosis in different secondary nephrosis vary.Therefore,an in-depth and systematic understanding of the association between ferroptosis and secondary nephrosis,as well as their specific regulatory mechanisms,can provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis,prevention,treatment,and prognosis assessment of secondary nephrosis,laying the foundation for exploring new clinical therapeutic targets for secondary nephrosis.
