ASSESSMENT OF SUBCLINICAL RENAL INSULT IN SHORT- AND LONG-TERM UNCONTROLLED HYPERTENSION USING MOLECULAR BIOMARKERS OF NGAL AND KIM-1.

Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

This study uses two biomarkers to detect early kidney damage in patients with hypertension. The index combines NGAL and KIM-1, which can signal injury before the kidney filtering rate drops. It was tested in mice and human cell cultures, so results do not apply to humans yet.
