Figure 1

Synthetic representation of mechanisms involved in renal tissue hypoxia leading to acute and chronic renal failure after ischemia-reperfusion. Renal tissue hypoxia reflects an imbalance between oxygen supply and oxygen consumption. Renal tissue hypoxia participates to further tubular damage and acute renal failure. Recently the role of renal hypoxia has been proposed in development of chronic renal failure. HIF, hypoxia-inducible factor; −, protect; +, promote.
