Imaging neutrophil and endothelial function in acute glomerulonephritis [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Michael Hickey (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Arthur Kitching

Brief description The glomerulus is a group of small blood vessels which form the filtering component of the kidney. In many diseases, it can be the target of an inappropriate inflammatory response during which white blood cells accumulate in the glomerular blood vessels and cause damage. In this project, we will visualise the blood vessel lining of the glomerulus in order to understand how white blood cells damage this region and cause leakage of protein leak into the urine.
