| Abstract | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem affecting almost 15% of the population worldwide. After renal injury, there is a nephron loss and remaining nephrons ensure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with compensatory hyperplasia and hypertrophy: This is called the nephron reduction. After nephron reduction, renal function will gradually decline and lead to chronic end-stage renal failure. Whatever the initial cause of the renal injury, recent data suggest there are common molecular mechanisms at the origin of CKD progression. Moreover, the renal lesions are very reproducible with glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy and partial epithelio-mesenchymal transition, interstitial fibrosis and vascular abnormalities. The physiopathology of CKD progression is unclear but some hypotheses have been described: i) the nephron "overwork", supported by recent works showing that the nephron reduction leads to hyperfiltration by the remaining nephrons and the stability of the GFR; ii) the "podocyte adaptation" theory, reflected by the importance of the podocytopathy in CKD progression and the crucial role of residual proteinuria in renal lesion development; iii) the activation of EGFR signaling pathways in surgical nephron reduction model and its involvement in CKD progression. Finally, CKD progression remains poorly understood and further studies will be necessary to discover new CKD molecular pathways and to develop new therapeutic insight in CKD management. |
