Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.
