Microproteinuria

Although there was no significant difference between the creatinine levels of the groups at 2 months (0.736 vs 0.755 mg/dl, p = 0,0616), we could observe an increase in the microproteinuria levels in the group IR+vehicle, while hAFSC-treated rats had urine protein levels comparable to the no injury group as shown by silver staining (Fig 5, bottom right panel).
