URINARY BIOMARKERS FOR PREDICTING LONG-TERM DIALYSIS

摘要

This invention is related to the field of the prevention and treatment ofkidney disease. The treatment of kidneydisease may be tailored depending upon the need for, or expectation of, long-term dialysis. For example, prediction of long-termdialysis treatment can be determined by monitoring urine biomarkers related tothe development of chronic kidney disease. Forexample, a normalized time course of hyaluronic acid can be used to determinewhether a patient having suffered acute kidneyinjury will require long-term dialysis.
