CKD screening: urinary albumin or uDKK3 or both?

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a discussion piece about the best way to screen for kidney disease. It weighs the usual urine test for protein (albumin) against a newer urine marker called uDKK3, and asks whether to use one or both. It raises the question but reports no new patient results.
