Glomerulonephritis Models
Glomerulonephritis (GN) is an autoimmune disease that induces inflammation within the glomerulus and other compartments of the kidney. The clinical features encompass the formation of proteinuria and haematuria as well as low calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Autoimmunity, cancer and structural abnormalities within kidney are involved in the pathogenesis of GN. However, the pathological mechanism of GN is still unclear. In addition, GN has been known as a common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide. It is associated with severe morbidity and thus represents a major socioeconomic health problem. Therefore, it is necessary for scientific research to look into an effective therapy for this significant clinical disease. Creative Bioarray specializes in providing customized pharmacodynamic research services to help customers assess the efficacy of drug candidates against glomerulonephritis and study the associated pathological mechanisms through glomerulonephritis models.
