Abstract
The present invention provides a method of treating, ameliorating and/or preventing cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an annexin A1 (ANXA1) peptide such that the AKI is treated, ameliorated and/or prevented.
Claims2
A method of treating acute kidney injury (AKI) due to cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation in a subject having cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation, comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of an annexin A1 short peptide (ANXA1sp) consisting of the amino acid sequence Ac-Gln-Ala-Trp, wherein the ANXA1sp is administered to the subject prior to, during and/or after cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation, thereby treating AKI due to cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation.
A method of ameliorating acute kidney injury (AKI) due to cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation in a subject having cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation, comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of an annexin A1 short peptide (ANXA1sp) consisting of the amino acid sequence Ac-Gln-Ala-Trp, wherein the ANXA1sp is administered to the subject prior to, during and/or after cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation, thereby ameliorating AKI due to cardiac surgery or cardiac transplantation.
