Proteomic analysis of histologically distinct fibrotic regions in a case of IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis

Paper D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

Researchers studied kidney tissue from one person with a rare immune kidney disease (IgG4-related kidney inflammation). They mapped the proteins in the scarred parts of the kidney to learn what drives the scarring. This was lab work on tissue, not a test of any treatment in people. It points to possible targets but does not help patients yet.
