The present invention is related to short-term renal injury models and methods for creating these models. The models and methods can be used for identifying, testing or characterizing candidate molecules with respect to their suitability to treat renal injury. The methods comprise a step of inducing, in a test subject, renal injury by administering subcutaneously a bolus of a renal injury inducer, in a dosage sufficiently high to induce renal injury. Different types of readout for renal injury are provided such as albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) determined in a urine sample taken from the subject, or the development of transcutaneous fluorescence after injection of a fluorescent molecule. Based on the readout the degree of renal injury and/or alteration of GFR can be determined.
本发明涉及短期肾损伤模型和创建这些模型的方法。这些模型和方法可用于鉴定、测试或表征候选分子治疗肾损伤的适宜性。这些方法包括一个步骤,即通过皮下注射肾损伤诱导剂,以足够高的剂量诱发受试者的肾损伤。提供了不同类型的肾损伤读数,如从受试者尿样中测定的白蛋白
肌酐比值(ACR),或注射荧光分子后经皮荧光的发展。根据读数可以确定肾损伤程度和/或肾小球滤过率的变化。
