Biomarkers in Kidney Health: Enhancing Early Detection and Treatments

Emerging biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) have shown great potential in the early diagnosis of kidney injury. These biomarkers are extremely sensitive indicators of tubular injury, and they can detect renal damage at stages when conventional markers are still within normal ranges. While these novel biomarkers have high sensitivity and specificity, incorporating them into ordinary clinical practice raises several problems. Despite its potential, more study is needed to validate these biomarkers in large-scale, long-term clinical studies.
