Mass Spectrometric Identification of Urinary Biomarkers of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Proteomic-Related Preliminary Report.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual loss of kidney function and has an increased prevalence rate worldwide. Our study was intended to identify potential biomarkers of progression using urine proteomics.

Materials And Methods: This preliminary study consisted of 32 patients with stage V CKD.

Noninvasive Biomarkers for Alcohol-Related Liver Disease-A Proteomic Related Preliminary Report.

Unlabelled: Increased alcohol intake over decades leads to progressive alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and contributes to increased mortality. It is characterized by reduced platelet count. Platelets have a role in protecting vascular integrity and involved in liver regeneration.

Noncoding RNAs associated with IgA nephropathy.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common glomerulonephritides. The disease is characterized by haematuria, proteinuria, deposition of galactose-deficient IgA1 in the glomerular mesangium and mesangial hypercellularity, further leading to extracellular matrix expansion. Kidney biopsy is the gold standard for IgAN diagnosis.
