Glomerular Elastic Modulus and Gene Expression Patterns Define Two Phases of Alport Nephropathy
2024-02-29
Abstract excerpt
Alport syndrome (AS), caused by COL4A3,4,5 mutations, leads to progressive glomerular disease and eventual kidney failure. In Col4α3 −/− mice (C57BL/6 background), we found that increased glomerular capillary deformability (reduced Young’s modulus, E) appears 2–3 months before detectable proteinuria or elevated serum creatinine. This early change indicates that podocyte injury precedes traditional clinical marker...
