Research Progress in Quercetin for Treating Acute Kidney Injury
Quercetin is a compound ubiquitous in the nature.Studies have demonstrated that quercetin has anti-inflammation,anti-oxidation,anti-cancer and other pharmaceutical activities.Acute kidney injury(AKI)is a syndrome with high incidence and complicated pathogenesis,with the mechanism of action being extensively studied.The studies with animal models have demonstrated that quercetin has therapeutic effects on AKI induced by hypoxia-reperfusion injury,sepsis,and drugs.Therefore,quercetin serves as a potential drug for treating AKI.This article classifies the animal models of AKI and summarizes the mechanisms of quercetin in the treatment of AKI,aiming to explore the potential of quercetin in treating AKI and provide ideas for relevant research.
