Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable aspect of transplantation, as well as an important cause of acute kidney injury in clinical practice. Restoration of the blood supply after an ischemic period activates an inflammatory cascade associated with multiple processes, including ion accumulation, free reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, endothelial dysfunction, and immune activation. Ischemic “conditioning” refers to the application of a brief series of ischemic periods followed by reperfusion in the setting of major ischemia. In ischemic preconditioning (IPC), the conditioning stimulus is applied before the major ischemic event, whereas in ischemic postconditioning (IPoC), it is applied after the event. Methods: Forty Wistar rats were randomized into five groups: Sham (S): laparotomy; Control (C): laparotomy and 30 min ischemia; Preconditioning (PRE): laparotomy, IPC, and 30 min ischemia; Preconditioning and Postconditioning (PRE/POST): laparotomy, IPC, 30 min ischemia, and IPoC; Postconditioning (POST): laparotomy, 30 min ischemia, and IPoC. Serum analyses of creatinine and neutrophil gelatinaseassociated lipocalin (NGAL) were performed, and renal histology was also examined. Results: Severe tubular injury and increases in creatinine were observed in all groups except the S group, and no significant differences were detected between the other groups (S<C=PRE=PRE/POST=POST). Conclusions: IPC and IPoC, together or separately, were unable to exert a protective effect against tubular cell injury and preserve kidney function. The duration of the ischemic period is a critical aspect of the conditioning strategy. Our results indicate that conditioning may not improve the outcome, and it may even be harmful.
