Kidney Ischemia Reperfusion (AKI) model*

The kidney ischemia reperfusion model (also called renal ischemia, nephric ischemia) is used to assess deficiency of blood in the kidney. The renal artery is occluded using a nontraumatic microaneurism clamp. Following occlusion period, the clamp is removed to allow reperfusion. 

 

Kidney Ischemia model 
Occlusion 45 minutes
Study Length 5-7 days
Species rat
Readouts available Body weights, histology of kidney

 

*This model is currently in development
