Behavior
Conduct extensive pain, sensory, motor, and cognitive behavioral testing.
Kidney injury (KI) models are commonly used to study renal dysfunction. Kidney injury can be induced through several methods, such as bilateral renal artery occlusion, nephrectomy of one kidney, and occlusion of the contralateral kidney. MD Biosciences developed a pig model for KI, leveraging the similarities pigs share with humans in organ function and drug response. Pig physiological characteristics, such as comparable kidney size and function, enhance the relevance of this model in assessing renal dysfunction and testing potential therapeutic interventions.
The figures show blood creatinine and urea concentrations following KI increase over time indicating declining kidney function.
