Observational analysis reveals elevated cellular senescence markers in severe kidney disease, highlighting their potential for clinical stratification.
Cellular senescence is the irreversible growth arrest subsequent to oncogenic mutations, DNA damage, or metabolic insult. Senescence is associated with ageing and chronic age associated diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The involvement of cellular senescence in acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not fully understood. However, recent studies suggest that such patients have a higher-than-normal level of cellular senescence and accelerated ageing.
