Low nephron endowment increases susceptibility to renal stress and chronic kidney disease
Preterm birth results in low nephron endowment and increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). To understand the pathogenesis of AKI and CKD in preterm humans, we generated potentially novel mouse models with a 30%–70% reduction in nephron number by inhibiting or de...
