Limitations of the rat remnant kidney model of chronic renal failure: absence of calcium oxalate tissue injury. 1986

G S Hoffman, and R G Reed, and W B Guiney, and E E Wells, and N O Oldroyd

We have studied the rat remnant kidney model as a tool to assess the impact of secondary oxalosis on renal failure. Although the plasma of uremic rats demonstrated increased levels of oxalic acid, deposits of oxalate crystals in tissue were not observed. The absence of such deposits in the remnant kidney, as well as other tissues, may be due to a lesser degree of hyperoxalemia observed in the rat compared to man or may reflect that uremic deaths among the experimental animals occurred prior to formation of detectable calcium oxalate deposition. We conclude that the rat remnant kidney is not a suitable model to study the impact of uremic oxalosis in man.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D009392 Nephrectomy Excision of kidney. Heminephrectomy,Heminephrectomies,Nephrectomies
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
