ACUTE RENAL FAILURE-SPECIFIC BIOMARKER, ACUTE RENAL FAILURE DIAGNOSIS METHOD, ACUTE RENAL FAILURE TEST KIT, ANIMAL TREATMENT METHOD AND ACUTE RENAL FAILURE MEDICATION

摘要

Provided is a biomarker capable of specifically diagnosing acute renal failure. The acute renal failure-specific biomarker is miRNA which is primarily present in blood. The miRNA is miRNA-5100. Furthermore, it is possible to use this miRNA-5100 as a method for diagnosing acute renal failure. When making a diagnosis, acute renal failure is diagnosed when miRNA-5100 expression in the blood decreases. As a kit for testing for acute renal failure, it is possible to include a reagent which measures miRNA-5100.
