Abstract
Zhao et al. demonstrated that chronic renal failure was associated with lipid redistribution in the kidney and other organs. We discuss three types of lipid redistribution in the context of inflammatory stress, which might help to explain many conflicting clinical observations in relation to lipid-mediated renal and vascular injury. An assessment of lipid redistribution may provide a new target for therapeutic intervention.
