Abstract: Acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease (AKI-to-CKD) transition is a complex intermingling of characteristics of both AKI and CKD. Pathophysiologically, the transition lasts seven days after the AKI episode and thereafter silently progresses towards CKD. Growing reports confirm that the AKI-to-CKD transition is heavily regulated by epigenetic modifiers. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) share a diverse role in gene regulation at transcriptional and translational levels and have been reported to be involved in the regulation and progression of AKI-to-CKD transition. Several lncRNAs have been considered potential biomarkers for diagnosing kidney disease, including AKI and CKD. Targeting lncRNAs gives a promising therapeutic strategy against kidney diseases. The primitive role of lncRNA in the progression of the AKI-to-CKD transition is yet to be fully understood. As known, the lncRNAs could be used as a biomarker and a therapeutic target to halt the CKD development and progression after AKI. This review aims to deepen our understanding of the current knowledge regarding the involvement of lncRNAs in the AKI-to-CKD transition. This review primarily discusses the role of lncRNAs and the change in their mechanisms during different stages of kidney disease, such as in AKI, AKI-to-CKD transition, and CKD. Further, we have discussed the potential diagnostic and pharmacological outcomes of targeting lncRNAs to prevent or slow the progression of AKI-to-CKD transition.
