Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Research
  • Animal Models

Background:

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impacts over 10% of the global population, necessitating advanced research models.
  • Current CKD management includes dialysis, transplantation, and pharmaceuticals, but further understanding of pathophysiology is required.
  • Complex biological processes in renal disease demand sophisticated animal models for effective study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a detailed protocol for a surgical rat model of CKD.
  • To establish a reliable model for investigating CKD pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions.
  • To support research in biomolecular studies, pharmaceutical development, and advanced imaging techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic surgical protocol involving midline laparotomy.
  • Combined total and partial nephrectomy in rats for both survival and non-survival applications.
  • Emphasis on precise surgical techniques for reproducible outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The described surgical technique yields a consistent and reliable model for CKD research.
  • The model is suitable for various applications, including biomolecular and pharmaceutical studies.
  • Facilitates the development and testing of novel intraoperative imaging modalities like hyperspectral imaging.

Conclusions:

  • This surgical protocol offers a valuable and biologically complex animal model for advancing CKD research.
  • The model supports the investigation of renal malperfusion and the development of new diagnostic tools.
  • Precise surgical methodology is critical for ensuring the validity and utility of the CKD rat model.
