Effects of photobiomodulation and caffeine treatment on acute kidney injury in a hypoxic ischemic neonatal rat model

Physiological Reports, Volume 11, Issue 15, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 2–5/1000 births, with acute kidney injury (AKI) occurring in 40%. AKI increases morbidity and mortality.
