Erythropoietin receptor upregulation is associated with tubular injury severity in human acute kidney injury

Key Points

• The study aims to examine the relationship between erythropoietin receptor expression and tubular injury severity in acute kidney injury.
• Assessment of EPOR expression in renal tubular epithelial cells
• Correlation analysis with histopathological injury severity
• Evaluation of selected clinical parameters
• EPOR expression is significantly upregulated in acute kidney injury cases
• Stronger EPOR levels are associated with greater histopathological injury severity
• Findings suggest EPOR could serve as a marker for tubular stress
