Similarity to a Human Variety

John D. Vlachos, MD

Am J Dis Child. 1972;123(2):118-120.

Abstract
The production of polycystic renal disease in newborn rabbits by the use of a long-acting corticosteroid, fluprednisolone (Predef 2x [Greece]; Alphadrol; comparable US product) as reported by Perey et al has been confirmed and extended. Rabbits followed up to 3 months of age show disappearance of the cysts. Comparison with "glomerular" type human polycystic kidney shows important similarities.
