Biomarkers of AKI: a review of mechanistic relevance and potential therapeutic implications

JL Alge, JM Arthur - Clinical Journal of the American Society of …, 2015 - journals.lww.com
AKI is a common clinical condition associated with a number of adverse outcomes. More
timely diagnosis would allow for earlier intervention and could improve patient outcomes.
The goal of early identification of AKI has been the primary impetus for AKI biomarker
research, and has led to the discovery of numerous novel biomarkers. However, in addition
to facilitating more timely intervention, AKI biomarkers can provide valuable insight into the
molecular mechanisms of this complex and heterogeneous disease. Furthermore, AKI …
