Abstract
Peritoneal injury is a major cause of discontinuation from long-term peritoneal dialysis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying such injury remain unclear. Suitable animal models of peritoneal injury may be useful to analyze pathogenic mechanisms and facilitate the development of therapeutic approaches. We describe herein two rat models of peritoneal injury that we have recently proposed.
