Abstract
Experimental medicine has formed the basis for generating medical knowledge for several centuries. The development of various experimental tools introduced at different times in medical practice has allowed the acquisition of knowledge with increasingly sophisticated scientific bases. Consequently, through in vivo, in vitro and, more recently, in silico experiments, we have witnessed an uninterrupted collection of experimental data potentially valuable for medicine, especially for Nephrology. We are gradually contemplating the uniqueness of individuals for the benefit of life and human dignity.
