Abstract: Objective To establish isolated perfused kidney (IPK) model in chronic kidney disease (CKD) transgenic rat, as a screening tool for CKD drug. Method Seven CKD transgenic rats were perfused with 1 μmol/L CysA for 60 minutes, the content of albumin in urine were detected before and after treatment to evaluate the effect of CysA. Five CKD transgenic rats were treated with 20 mg/kg CysA/day for 15 days, the content of albumin in urine were compared to 5 control CKD transgenic rats to evaluate in vivo effect of CysA. Results After perfusing 1 μmol/L CysA for 60 minutes, the content of albumin in urine were decrease signicantly. In in vivo efficacy study,after dosing CysA 15days, the content of albumin in urine were also decrease signicantly. Conclusion The consistency of CysA efficacy of decreasing the content of albumin in urine bewteen IPK model and in vivo animal model in CKD transgenic rat is good. The IPK model on CKD transgenic rat have potential to be a further screening tool for CKD drug.
