肾小管上皮细胞(RTEC)是肾小管间质的主要细胞,具有旺盛的代谢活性和潜在的增殖能力,并能分泌多种细胞因子.RTEC损伤,不仅是引起急性肾衰竭的直接原因,而且是导致慢性肾衰竭、贫血、肾性骨病等不可逆的终末期肾病的主要原因和共同病理过程.防治RTEC损伤对于减缓或逆转肾间质纤维化进展具有重要意义.%Renal tubular epithelial cell (RTEC) is the major cell type in renal tubulointerstitium. It has strong metabolic activity and proliferative potency. It secretes a variety of cytokines. RTEC injury is not only the direct cause of acute renal failure, but also the main reason of renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) and the common pathological process of irreversible end-stage renal diseases such as chronic renal failure, anemia and renal osteodystrophy. Prevention and treatment of RTEC injury is of great significance in slowing down and reversing the progress of RIF.
