Role of Intracellular Ca 2+ and Na + /Ca 2+ 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 Ca 2+ overload is considered to be a key factor in CI-AKI. Voltage-dependent Ca 2+ channel (VDC) and Na + /Ca 2+ exchanger (NCX) system are the main pathways of intracellular Ca 2+...
