Abstract excerpt
The development of renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) represents an important step in the progression of chronic proteinuric nephropathies. The Munich Wistar Frömter (MWF) rat represents a valuable model to study the progression in proteinuric renal disease. MWF animals demonstrate a significant increase of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and RIF compared with the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) with low UAE....
