Abstract
Recently, the usefulness of serum uromodulin (sUmod) as a novel renal biomarker has been attracting attention. Clinical evidence regarding sUmod measurements has been accumulated by analyzing cross-sectional data. However, little is known about the longitudinal data on sUmod. Therefore, we decided to investigate the variability of sUmod in patients with acute kidney injury due to different causes. High concentrations of sUmod have been observed in patients with acute tubular injury (ATI) and/or acute interstitial nephritis (AIN). sUmod could be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool for ATI and AIN.
期刊介绍：
This peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of nephrology and dialysis, including genetic susceptibility, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment or prevention, toxicities of therapy, critical care, supportive care, quality-of-life and survival issues. The journal will also accept case reports dealing with the use of novel technologies, both in the arena of diagnosis and treatment. Supplementary material is welcomed.
