Glomerulonephritis is a group of diseases involving damage to the glomeruli caused by inflammation. RenaSci developed  the Antibody-induced anti-GBM Disease Models model of glomerulonephritis that is induced by immunization with collagen type IV antibodies.

 

Anti-GBM model is characterised  by:

• Rapid onset of inflammatory cell infiltration
• Severe proteinuria
• Plasticity: Enalapril, Empagliflozin and Dexamethasone are effective in rescuing kidney phenotype in this model

Statistical differences: *p<0.05 **p<0.01 ***p<0.001 vs Vehicle; † p<0.5, † † p<0.01 vs anti-GBM

 

• The anti-GBM model develops a mild fibrotic phenotype where tubulointerstitial fibrosis can be prevented with Dexamethasone
