This Review examines the unique biological characteristics of unconventional T cells, including γδ T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T cells and natural killer T cells, and their roles in kidney injury, glomerulopathies and fibrosis. The authors also discuss the potential clinical applications of these cells, including in patients with kidney failure treated with dialysis or transplantation.
