Description
Abstract
With the continuous advancement of neonatal intensive care technology, the survival rate of preterm infants is gradually increasing. However, this improvement in survival is accompanied by long-term prognostic implications in various systems. In the field of renal diseases, current epidemiological data indicate that preterm birth is a significant risk factor for the development of long-term chronic kidney disease (CKD). This not only imposes an economic burden on patients families but also severely impacts their quality of life. Understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in this process could offer potential strategies for early prevention and management of CKD. Although the nephron number hypothesis is currently widely accepted as a mechanism, there has been limited exploration regarding podocytes - one of the most important structures within nephrons - in relation to long-term CKD associated with preterm birth. Therefore, this review aims to summarize current knowledge on how prematurity influences CKD development overall, while specifically focusing on our current understanding of podocytes in relation to prematurity
