We briefly review what appear to be the most important elements responsible for renal cell injury during and after oxygen deprivation. Recent studies in numerous laboratories have vastly improved our understanding of the changes in cell function that occur during ischemia and yet, the underlying mechanisms by which tubule damage and cell death occur remain elusive. We attempt to separate the effects that occur during ischemia or anoxia from those occurring during reperfusion (reoxygenation). These are not always separable, especially because it appears that ischemia initiates a series of complex events that may only become manifested during reperfusion. Ischemia-induced renal dysfunctions are clearly multifactorial events that will require major efforts to unravel.
