Chronic interstitial nephritis in agricultural communities (CINAC) and lysosomal tubulopathy: Is there a place for anti-oxidants?

Chronic Interstitial Nephritis in Agricultural Communities (CINAC) continues to attract controversy in the scientific community。 It was previously known as Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology (CKDu) and is not associated with the common aetiological factors such as diabetes。 There is general acceptance that it is an environmentally induced disorder due to a combination of toxicities: heavy metals from food, fluoride in drinking water, hard water, heat stress and pesticides。 The recent findings of a lysosomal inclusion body tubulopathy is of great interest to those attempting to find therapeutic agents to slow or eliminate its renal damage。 The paper argues that despite these new findings, oxidative stress could play a key role and proposes that anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C and E be repurposed for treatment。
