As rhAKI commonly occurs in austere environments such as earthquakes and armed conflict, supportive care is challenging. Specific therapy would be a significant advance. Since myoglobin is taken into renal tubular cells via the renal cortex-specific transporter megalin (LRP2), we hypothesized that interfering with megalin would ameliorate rhAKI.}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/ks65hc833}, recid = {8224}, address = {2020}, }
