ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the safety and feasibility of renal artery coil embolization for establishing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in rabbits. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Ten male adult New Zealand rabbits underwent renal artery coil embolization. Initially, the main renal artery on 1 side was completely embolized, followed by embolization of approximately two-thirds of the primary branches of the contralateral renal artery 1 week later. Four rabbits were randomly chosen for sacrifice at 4 weeks after embolization, whereas the remaining 6 were sacrificed at 8 weeks after embolization. The assessment encompassed the animals' general condition, angiography, biochemical parameters, inflammatory markers, and histopathological examination of the kidneys and hearts.RESULTS:
Four weeks after embolization, serum creatinine level showed a substantial increase (2.4 mg/dL [SD ± 0.6]; P = .009 vs baseline), with a subsequent 4.12-fold elevation at 8 weeks after embolization (4.9 mg/dL [SD ± 1.4]; P < .001 vs baseline). Additionally, considerable increases in serum blood urea nitrogen, calcium, and potassium ions were observed at 8 weeks after embolization (58.3 mg/dL [SD ± 19.0]; P < .001 vs baseline; 23.1 mg/dL [SD ± 4.4]; P < .001 vs baseline; and 6.3 mEq/L [SD ± 0.7]; P < .001 vs baseline, respectively). The completely embolized kidney exhibited notable atrophy, severe fibrosis, and cortical calcification, whereas the contralateral partially embolized kidney displayed compensatory hypertrophy, along with glomerulosclerosis, tubular dilation, tubular casts, and interstitial fibrosis.CONCLUSIONS:
Renal artery coil embolization proved to be effective and safe for establishing a CKD model in rabbits.
