Synopsis of Sweet! Mouse Models of Diabetic Kidney Disease

Toxicologic Pathology

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (types 1 and 2) is the leading cause of glomerular disease and end-stage renal disease in most developed countries, with estimates that one-third of people living with diabetes will develop diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The current standard of care medications slow but do not arrest progression of kidney disease, and therefore, therapy for DKD is a highly unmet medical need for patients. To discover and test novel and durable new therapies, it is necessary to develop animal models of human DKD, which authentically recapitulate the human disease state and provide translatable efficacy to human patients. Here, we review selected mouse models of human DKD, which demonstrate many of the features of type 2 human DKD.
