Key result
Increased early urinary protein excretion in male hypertensive fawn-hooded rats served as an early marker for the development of progressive renal failure and premature death.

Does early proteinuria predict the development of progressive renal failure in hypertensive fawn-hooded rats?
Population
Male spontaneously hypertensive fawn-hooded (FH) rats
Comparison
Observation of early proteinuria levels vs Class I rats with lower early proteinuria
Design
Preclinical
Follow-up
Up to 75+ weeks

Early proteinuria may flag renal risk in this rat model; leaves open human translation and monitoring utility.
Does early proteinuria predict the development of progressive renal failure in hypertensive fawn-hooded rats?
Increased urinary protein excretion at an early age serves as a predictive marker for the development of progressive renal failure in hypertensive fawn-hooded rats.
Keijzer et al. (1989) studied Hypertension and progressive renal failure. Early proteinuria (Class II) vs. Lower proteinuria (Class I) was evaluated on Impairment of renal function (decrease in GFR) and end-stage renal failure. Increased early urinary protein excretion in male hypertensive fawn-hooded rats served as an early marker for the development of progressive renal failure and premature death.
