Proteome-Based Marker Classifies Chronic Kidney Disease Progression

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression is currently assessed by a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and/or an increase in urinary albumin excretion (UAE) though these markers are considered either to be late-stage markers or to have low sensitivity or specificity. More...

Exposure to Toxins in Children Associated with Kidney Disease Biomarker

Researchers have assessed environmental exposure to multiple toxins in children living in a region of Mexico with a high incidence of chronic kidney disease, especially among young adults. They not only detected high levels of arsenic and chromium in urine samples, they also detected elevated levels of Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1), a biomarker currently being studied as an early sign of kidney injury. More...

Low Selenium Levels Linked to Liver Cancer Development

Selenium is a trace mineral micronutrient that is found in foods like shellfish, salmon, Brazil nuts, meat, eggs, grains, and onions. However, selenium levels in foods depend largely on the levels of selenium in the soil where the food is grown and animals graze. More...
