Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterised by a rapid decline in kidney function and is caused by a variety of clinical conditions. The incidence of AKI in hospitalised adults is high. In animal studies, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) have been shown to act as a novel nephroprotective agent against ischaemic, toxic, and septic AKI by inhibiting apoptosis, promoting cell proliferation, and inducing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses.

Septic gut damage is critical in the progression of sepsis and multiple organ failure, characterized by gut microbiota dysbiosis and epithelium deficiency in the gut barrier. Recent studies highlight the protective effects of Erythropoietin (EPO) on multiple organs. The present study found that EPO treatment significantly alleviated the survival rate, suppressed inflammatory responses, and ameliorated intestine damage in mice with sepsis.

Hypoxia is characterized as one of the main consequences of sepsis, which is recognized as the leading cause of death in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In this study, we aimed to examine whether the expression levels of genes regulated under hypoxia could be utilized as novel biomarkers for sepsis prognosis in ICU patients. Whole blood expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (), interferon-stimulated gene 15 (), hexokinase 2 (), lactate dehydrogenase (), heme oxygenase-1 (), erythropoietin (), and the vascular endothelial growth factor A () were measured on ICU admission in 46 critically ill, initially non-septic patients.

Initial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure leads to a hypo-responsive state by macrophages to a secondary stimulation of LPS, known as endotoxin tolerance. However, recent findings show that functions of endotoxin-tolerant macrophages are not completely suppressed, whereas they undergo a functional re-programming process with upregulation of a panel of molecules leading to enhanced protective functions including antimicrobial and tissue-remodeling activities. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still elusive.
