Abstract
Renalase is both an enzyme and a cytokine that functions as a signaling molecule involved in cell survival. Its level increases significantly during chronic kidney disease which is accompanied by normal renalase excretion. It remains an unresolved link between kidney diseases and hypertension and is a promising factor in limiting their adverse effects.
