Abstract

Organ or tissue dysfunction due to acute ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Acute IRI induces cell injury and death in a wide variety of organs and tissues in a large number of different clinical settings. One novel therapeutic noninvasive intervention, capable of conferring multiorgan protection against acute IRI, is ‘remote ischemic conditioning’ (RIC). This describes an endogenous protective response to acute IRI, which is triggered by the application of one or more brief cycles of nonlethal ischemia and reperfusion to one particular organ or tissue. Originally discovered as a therapeutic strategy for protecting the myocardium against acute IRI, it has been subsequently demonstrated that RIC may confer protection against acute IRI in a number of different noncardiac organs and tissues including the kidneys, lungs, liver, skin flaps, ovaries, intestine, stomach and pancreas. The discovery that RIC can be induced noninvasively by applying the RIC stimulus to the skeletal tissue of the upper or lower limb has facilitated its application to a number of clinical settings in which organs and tissues are at high risk of acute IRI. In this article, we review the experimental studies that have investigated RIC in organs and tissues other than the heart, and we explore the therapeutic potential of RIC in preventing organ and tissue dysfunction induced by acute IRI.
