Role of Intracellular Ca2+ and Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger in the Pathogenesis of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury
The precise mechanisms underlying contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) are not well understood. Intracellular Ca2+ overload is considered to be a key factor in CI-AKI. Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel (VDC) and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) system are the main pathways of intracellular Ca2+ overlo...
