#UCalgary team Dan Muruve, and his team, including Arthur Lau, have discovered why contrast dyes in diagnostic tests can cause harm to kidneys and how to better protect them during complex medical procedures.
“These findings are a great step forward for people living with kidney failure caused by injury,” says Elisabeth Fowler, national director of research, The Kidney Foundation of Canada. “Our goal in funding research is to work toward finding a cure, and to help translate fundamental discoveries from the lab bench into clinics and hospitals to ease the burden of kidney disease. We look forward to upcoming results of this promising work.”
