.... Numerous new AKI biomarkers have been identified in recent years; they either reflect impaired excretory function or structural damage. The majority of markers are useful for AKI recognition under certain circumstances. Fewer data are available on the role of biomarkers in the prediction of in-hospital...

...Xiaoxia Yu; Hua Wu; Hongmei Wang; He Dong; Bihu Gao Background: The aim of the study was to screen biomarkers related to clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) progression and prognosis. Methods: 1,026 ccRCC-related genes were dug from 494 ccRCC samples in TCGA based on weighted gene co-expression...

...-inflammation, cancer immunology, and cardiovascular inflammation, and has been shown to predict cardiovascular events. Objectives: It was our objective to increase the body of data regarding the value of kynurenine as a biomarker in chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: We investigated the predictive value...

...Peng Gao; Bo Xu; Panai Song; Xuejing Zhu; Shuguang Yuan; Yashipal S. Kanwar; Lin Sun Background/Aims: Renal tubular injury plays an important role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, there is a lack of specific biomarkers for tubular damage in incipient DN. We have evaluated...

.... In this study, we aim to evaluate the predictive value of urinary EGF/MCP-1 ratio compared to each biomarker individually for moderate to severe IFTA in primary glomerulonephritis (GN). Methods: Urine samples were collected at biopsy from primary GN (IgA nephropathy, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis...

... biomarkers. In this study, the association between 163 targeted maternal blood metabolites and gestational age was investigated in order to find candidate biomarkers for PTB. Methods: Five hundred twenty-three women were included into this observational study. Maternal blood was obtained before delivery...

...), a promising biomarker for kidney function, in continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Methods: 103 sets of serum, 24h-urine and dialysate samples were obtained in 15 CCPD (63 sets) and 11 CAPD (40 sets) patients. Total, renal and peritoneal substrate...

... Biomarker Cardiovascular disease Prognosis Diagnosis AKI Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), also called lipocalin-2, is a representative of a large group of lipocalins, which are small extracellular proteins with a variety of functions. This acute phase protein is a 25 kDa large...

... be maintained, and to investigate changes in biomarkers, when switching from erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESA) with shorter half-life to once-monthly subcutaneous methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin β (CERA) in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods: Pre-dialysis CKD patients (n=191...

... of therapeutic intervention’ is narrow. Different urinary and serum proteins have been intensively investigated as possible biomarkers for the early diagnosis of AKI. There are promising candidate biomarkers with the ability to detect an early and graded increase in tubular epithelial cell injury and distinguish...
