DETECTING METHOD FOR RENAL DISEASE ND CONTROL METHOD FOR MORBIDITY OF RENAL DISEASE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method wherein a renal abnormality which cannot be detected by various inspection means with reference to a renal disease and which is generated before an early nephoropathy period an be detected precisely and by reducing the burden of a subject. SOLUTION: In an early detecting method for a renal disease, the concentration of a human lipokairine-type prostaglandin D synthetase in a humor sample collected from a subject is measured, and its measured value is compared with a reference value which is set on the basis of the measured value of a human lipokairin-type prostaglandin D synthetase in a humor sample collected from a healthy person. In this control method for the morbidity of a renal disease, the concentration of a human lipokairin-type prostaglandin D synthetase in a humor sample collected from a subsject is measured, and the filtration capability of a glomerulus is assessed on the basis of its measured value. Thereby, the control method can detect a renal abnormality more remarkably than creatinine, in bllod, or alubumin, in urine, which are used at present as an index of a reanl disease which has a lesion in a glomerulus such as a glomerulus nephritis, diabetic nephotopathy or the like.
