Background: Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), a glycoprotein widely expressed in the body, is primarily involved in plasma lipoprotein metabolism. Previous research has demonstrated that PLTP can exert anti-inflammatory effects and improve individual survival in patients with sepsis and endotoxemia by neutralizing LPS and facilitating LPS clearance. However, the role of PLTP in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) and the specific mechanism of its protective effects are unclear.
