Neonatal nephron loss during active nephrogenesis results in altered expression of renal developmental genes and markers of kidney injury

Abstract excerpt

Preterm neonates are at a high risk for nephron loss under adverse clinical conditions. Renal damage potentially collides with postnatal nephrogenesis. Recent animal studies suggest that nephron loss within this vulnerable phase leads to renal damage later in life. Nephrogenic pathways are commonly reactivated after kidney injury supporting renal regeneration. We hypothesized that nephron loss during...
