Here we describe a method permitting the transcutaneous measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in conscious mice independent of blood or urine samples. This approach is an extension of our previously published method used in rats (1).
Here, we present a new technique allowing the determination of renal function in freely moving mice without blood or urine sampling as well as without laboratory assays. The technique is validated against a classical plasma clearance method in healthy, UNX and pcy mice.
