Early mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism in diabetic nephropathy limits albuminuria by preserving the glomerular endothelial glycocalyx

2021-05-19

Abstract excerpt

The glomerular endothelial glycocalyx (GEnGlx) forms the first part of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). We have previously shown that excess mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation causes GEnGlx damage and albuminuria. Damage to the GEnGlx occurs early in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Here we sought to determine whether MR antagonism with spironolactone could prevent the development of...
