Behavior
Conduct extensive pain, sensory, motor, and cognitive behavioral testing.
Kidney injury (KI) models are commonly used to study renal dysfunction. Injury can be induced through several methods, including bilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion and nephrectomy of one kidney followed by occlusion of the contralateral kidney. MD Biosciences offers acute kidney injury (AKI) models in both rodents and pigs, along with a chronic kidney disease (CKD) model in Göttingen minipigs, leveraging the similarities pigs share with humans in kidney size, organ function, and drug response. Together these models provide clinically relevant platforms for assessing renal dysfunction and testing therapeutic interventions across acute and chronic disease.
The figures show blood creatinine and urea concentrations following KI increase over time indicating declining kidney function.
MD Biosciences offers comprehensive in vivo measures and endpoint assessments, delivering robust data packages to support critical research decisions in the evolving landscape of drug development and biomedical research.
