Review of Urinary proteomics in chronic kidney disease: diagnosis and risk of progression beyond albuminuria

Leave a Comment / English Articles /

Summary This study examined the utility of urinary proteomics analysis using capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (CE-MS) for diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and predicting rapid kidney function decline. The authors analyzed urine samples from 18 CKD patients (including those with hypertensive nephropathy) and 17 healthy controls. They found that a urinary proteomic classifier

The relationship between hydronephrosis severity on ultrasound and kidney stone size

Leave a Comment / All, Articles, English Articles, Genetics, Medicine, Research Publications /

Introduction Kidney stones are a common urologic condition, with an increasing incidence and prevalence globally. Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) is frequently used in emergency departments to evaluate suspected kidney stones, given its high accuracy for detecting the presence, size and location of stones. However, ultrasound is advantageous due to lower cost, lack of ionizing radiation,
