Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) Models

Creative Bioarray provides in vivo pharmacodynamics studies in validated, well-established animal models of diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is useful in the rapid evaluation of a test compound's efficacy. According to your unique requirements, our scientists will partner with you to assist you from initial study design to final reporting and analysis of your data to provide you with reliable, reproducible results.

DN is the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide; in the USA, it accounts for over 50% of individuals entering dialysis or transplant programs. Unlike other complications of diabetes, the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease has failed to decline over the past 30 years. Hyperglycaemia is the primary aetiological factor responsible for the development of DN. Once hyperglycaemia becomes established, multiple pathophysiological disturbances, including glomerulosclerosis, mesangial expansion, podocyte loss and tubulointerstitial damage. The clinical manifestation of these effects is a progressive decline in kidney function, accompanied by macroalbuminuria.
