The renal laboratory was established in 2017 to study the animal models of acute and chronic kidney diseases such as hypertension, ischemia reperfusion injury, renal fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, cardiopulmonary syndrome, and other diseases with renal complications and to investigate the mechanisms involved in these diseases. In this laboratory, some physiological and pathological indicators of the renal and circulatory systems are measured. These include measurement of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, 24-hour urine collection, and measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Water and food intake also are measurable by using metabolic cages.
Histological, biochemical, and molecular studies of the renal and circulatory systems are performed with the help of other research departments of the university.
