AIM2 and acute kidney injury: By examining 32 proteins shared between both AKI and No-AKI patients, we observed a group of proteins with higher levels in the urine of AKI; Searching these through a pathway database analysis, we found these were associated with lipid metabolism and inflammation processes, particularly involving the AIM2 and CLEC7A (Dectin-1) inflammasome pathways and the complement cascade.
