Abstract
Hirudin, a polypeptide structure containing 65 amino acids, is a potent natural thrombin inhibitor with anticoagulant property extracted from Hirudo medicinalis. It has been reported to have anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic property. Here we explored the renoprotective effect of hirudin on unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) induced renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF).Rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham group, UUO alone group,...
