Brief description Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of death and morbidity in Australia. Current treatments that are able to delay progression for CKD are limited. As a consequence, more than 2300 additional Australians need kidney replacement each year and many more die of kidney failure. We have reduced and prevented injury in a mouse model of CKD by administering protective white blood cells - macrophages. This project will modify macrophages ex vivo to optimize them for use as a therapy for CKD.
