Funded Activity Summary

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease globally and the No.1 cause of kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation in Australia. We are unsure why kidney scarring and failure develops in people with diabetes. Because of this, we have no specific treatments. Our studies suggest an immune receptor present in the kidney may be important. We aim to see whether absence of these receptors can prevent DN, thus identifying a specific target for treatment.
