Iron is an essential metal involved in several major cellular processes required
to maintain life. Because of iron's ability to cause oxidative damage, its
transport, metabolism, and storage is strictly controlled in the body, especially
in the small intestine, liver, and kidney. Iron plays a major role in acute
kidney injury and has been a target for therapeutic intervention. However, the
therapies that have been effective in animal models of acute kidney injury have
not been successful in human beings. Targeting iron trafficking via ferritin,
ferroportin, or hepcidin may offer new insights. This review focuses on the
biology of iron, particularly in the kidney, and its implications in acute kidney
injury.
