Abstract:
Myoglobinuric acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs as a result of rhabdomyolysis. Here, we present a protocol based on mouse primary renal tubular epithelial organoids, or "tubuloids", to model myoglobinuric AKI in vitro. We describe how to establish and maintain the culture of mouse tubuloids and how to trigger myoglobin-induced injury. Moreover, we provide instructions on how to quantify tubuloid damage. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhou et al.1.
