Renal biomarkers are biochemical indicators measured and evaluated for diagnostic and prognostic purposes related to kidney diseases. They are used for detection of kidney injury, disease prognosis, evaluation of dialysis efficiency and monitoring of kidney transplant rejection. Common renal biomarkers include serum creatinine, cystatin C, kidney injury molecule 1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein. The increasing prevalence of chronic ... Read more

Our kidneys play a vital role in maintaining fluid balance and filtering waste from our blood. However, they are often silently damaged over time due to conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure etc. Traditional markers like serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) usually detect advanced kidney damage that has already happened. But now, new renal biomarkers are enabling early detection of kidney injury even before loss of kidney function occurs. These biomarkers hold ... Read more
