Animal models of chronic allograft injury: contributions and limitations to understanding the mechanism of long-term graft dysfunction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) recurs after kidney transplantation in more than 30% of cases and can lead to allograft loss. Serum soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is implicated in the pathogenesis of native and recurrent FSGS. METHODS:We conducted a retrospective stu...
