title: Animal models of renal disease.
abstract: Mice have become a favored species to model disease. Many mouse strains have proven relatively resistant to some manipulations that have generated renal disease in other species. Kirchhoff et al. describe a means of producing hypertension, proteinuria, and glomerular sclerosis in a mouse strain.
