Leveraging Urinary Proteomics to Advance Pathophysiologic and Biomarker Perspectives of Chronic Kidney Disease in Cats
Key takeaways
Researchers looked at urine samples from cats to find signs of kidney disease. They identified 2,219 proteins and found one, called MMP-7, that may help diagnose the condition. This work was done in cats, not people, so it is early research. It could help vets spot kidney problems sooner.
