Attempted to develop a pig model of 5/6 nephrectomy (Laparoscopic nephrectomy + partial angioembolization contralaterally) to get a new model for study of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Success:
Serum catalytic iron in heart and kidney disease;
Modified catalytic iron assay - The %CV of intra- and inter-assay measurement for serum was 3.48%, 1.22% and for urine was 15.75%, 3.44%;
Serum catalytic iron as a novel biomarker of vascular injury in acute coronary syndromes.
