Abstract:
Renal fibrosis is a critical factor in progression of chronic kidney disease to end-stage renal disease.Underlying mechanisms driving renal fibrosis remain unclear.Lymphocytes play a pivotal and dual role in initiation and progression of renal fibro-sis.Through secretion of cytokines and chemokines,as well as direct cell-cell interactions,lymphocytes can exert profibrotic effects while also demonstrating antifibrotic potential under certain conditions.This review aims to summarize current research advances regarding interplay between lymphocytes and renal fibrosis and to explore their potential applications in antifibrotic therapies.
