Aristolochic acid (AA), a naturally occurring nephrotoxin and carcinogen, is implicated in an unique type of renal fibrosis, designated Chinese herbs nephropathy (CHN), which can develop to urothelial cancer. Understanding which enzymes are involved in AA activation and/or detoxication is important
Aristolochic acid (AA), a naturally occurring nephrotoxin and carcinogen, has been found to be implicated in an unique type of renal fibrosis, designated Chinese herbs nephropathy (CHN), and associated with the development of urothelial cancer in CHN patients. Understanding, which enzymes are
Recently, we reported that aristolochic acid (AA) a naturally occurring nephrotoxin and carcinogen is implicated in a unique type of renal fibrosis, designated Chinese herbs nephropathy (CHN). Indeed, we identified the principal aristolochic acid-DNA adduct in the kidney of five such patients. We
