NONINVASIVE METHOD TO QUANTIFY KIDNEY FUNCTION AND FUNCTIONAL DECLINE

摘要

Disclose are methods, compositions and kits for the determination of kidney function that provide an alternative to the standard-of-cure used for eGFR calculations. Described herein are methods for quantitative measurement of ADMA and hydration markers in a urine sample, and process used to transform the input of these methods into a measure of kidney function. The methods allow ADMA and other biomarkers to be detected in urine samples from a subject using a simple and inexpensive assay that can be easily performed noninvasively and only require urine samples for the prediction of kidney function.
