Inflammation
Glomerulonephritis is characterized by inflammation of the kidneys. Our investigators have a long-standing interest in the basic mechanisms of kidney inflammation including the role of the complement and chemokine systems in mediating glomerular injury.
Although likely applicable to a variety of glomerulonephritides, the clinical disease the investigators model is the nephritis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
