Abstract
Biomarkers, defined as molecules in biological samples that are used as indicators of organ function, can assess exposure to potentially injurious chemicals, effects on organ function, or susceptibility to organ functional decline. The kidneys are frequently exposed to many drugs and chemicals and loss of kidney function is a frequent consequence of diseases such as diabetes. This review summarizes findings reported in 2021 and early-2022 from clinical and experimental animal studies on biomarkers, focusing on five topics: 1) Progression and severity of diabetic kidney disease; 2) acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) severity and prognosis; 3) progression of AKI to CKD; 4) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) severity and prognosis; and 5) detection of exposure to environmental chemicals and nephrotoxic drugs.
期刊介绍:
The aims and scope of Current Opinion in Toxicology is to systematically provide the reader with timely and provocative views and opinions of the highest qualified and recognized experts on current advances in selected topics within the field of toxicology. The goal is that Current Opinion in Toxicology will be an invaluable source of information and perspective for researchers, teachers, managers and administrators, policy makers and students. Division of the subject into sections: For this purpose, the scope of Toxicology is divided into six selected high impact themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year: Mechanistic Toxicology, Metabolic Toxicology, Risk assessment in Toxicology, Genomic Toxicology, Systems Toxicology, Translational Toxicology.
