With an estimated global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) of 11–13%, non-invasive biomarkers of renal pathology are desperately required to enhance early diagnosis, guide prognosis and monitor response to treatment [1]. Currently, the mainstay of renal functional monitoring remains measurement of blood urea, serum creatinine and urinalysis, with renal biopsies adopted when diagnostic clarity is required. The ideal biomarker should be non-invasive, stable and sensitive, and should dynamically and specifically reflect disease pathology so as to guide diagnosis, treatment response and prognosis. Since their discovery in 1993, the small (20–22 nucleotides) non-coding RNAs microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to have many of these qualities. MiRNAs in multiple renal diseases have now been explored in renal tissue and biofluids including blood, urine (whole, cell free and urinary pellet), serum, plasma and perfusate from renal ex vivo perfusion systems. The stable detection of miRNAs in many of these samples is enhanced by their binding to proteins (eg Argonaute and lipoproteins) and/or their encapsulation in extracellular vesicles—both of which limit their degradation by RNases. In addition to their role as biomarkers, their ability to negatively regulate key networks of genes by posttranscriptional repression of mRNAs has resulted in critical mechanistic roles being identified in development, homeostasis and disease in multiple organs including the kidney [2]. Here, we discuss promising non-invasive miRNA biomarkers of renal disease in humans, highlighting the opportunities, challenges and approaches that may enhance clinical translation of miRNA biomarkers.The current classical pipeline for miRNA biomarker development is firstly high-throughput measurement of miRNAs by small-RNA sequencing or microarray in a discovery cohort containing the disease and sample of interest, followed by validation of key miRNAs in large and ideally prospective cohort studies by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Although miRNAs can be readily detected from a limited RNA quantity by qRT-PCR, the output from high-throughput sequencing often requires a greater RNA quantity that can often only be reliably obtained from renal tissue. However, the expression of many miRNAs initially profiled in renal tissue is often not faithfully reflected within contemporaneous biofluids. A further
