Abstract

The use of animal models has been an essential aspect of nearly all areas of nephrological research since its earliest days. Research on kidney formation and malformation, physiology and pathophysiology, immunological injury, and tolerance or transplant rejection all depend on the use of animal experimentation. This chapter will emphasize genetic approaches that utilize animals, as this area has shown the great progress in the development of novel technologies, that have had great impact in all areas of nephrology.
