- Original description
Currently used tests for chronic kidney injury only assess the function of one part of the kidney: the filter called the glomerulus. The other part, called the tubule, is disregarded. Based on many previous studies, the investigators have good reason to assume that a better prediction of the course of chronic kidney disease by testing tubular function will be possible. This is important, for example, when patients need to be treated with kidney-protecting drugs.Read full original descriptionShow less
Urinary Tubular Biomarkers for Chronic Kidney Disease
Currently used tests for chronic kidney injury only assess the function of one part of the kidney: the filter called the glomerulus. The other part, called the tubule, is disregarded. Based on many previous studies, the investigators have good reason to assume that a better prediction of the course of chronic kidney disease by testing tubular function will be possible. This is important, for example, when patients need to be treated with kidney-protecting drugs.
Inclusion: Chronic kidney disease stage 3 (eGFR 30-59ml/min).
Exclusion: Active glomerulonephritis treated with immunosuppression; Kidney transplant recipient; Current treatment with chemo- or immunotherapy for malignancy.
