Abstract
The paper by Ma and Devarajan suggests that the subtle apoptotic events that occur in the distal nephron after acute kidney injury might have a greater than expected impact on the adjacent proximal tubules and kidney function. Understanding these events might facilitate development of therapeutic means to ameliorate acute kidney injury.
