Proposed model of Klotho effect on acute kidney injury. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) down-regulates Klotho by 3 hours after injury (no. 1). IRI causes kidney damage (no. 2). Damaged tubules further decrease Klotho expression (no. 3). Reduced Klotho renders kidney more prone to further damage (no. 4).
