Elevation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 protein has been shown to be protective in acute kidney injury and HIF1α enhancing drug therapies are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of anemia of chronic kidney disease. Despite its benefits, long-term HIF1 elevation seems to be associated with additional effects in the kidneys such as tubulointerstitial fibrosis. To better understand the effects of prolonged HIF1 exposure, assessment of baseline and post-therapy levels of HIF1α and other related biomarkers is essential.

Information is minimal on the number of patients who continue with antihyperlipidemic therapy or follow-up with a primary care provider for cholesterol management after antihyperlipidemic therapy is initiated in an acute surgical setting.
