Development of innovative method for diagnosing renal disease -Urinary Molecular Profiling-

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This study clarified that the renal parenchymal cells were dropped into urine in renal pathological conditions. The quantitative and qualitative urinary cellular patterns correlated with the deteriorations of renal pathology and function in renal disease models and companion animals. Importantly, these urinary cells could be detected by molecular biological methods targeting mRNA and microRNA in urine. These data indicated the possibility that the urinary tests based on the detections of urinary cells, entitled "Urinary Molecular Profiling" in the present study, could be noninvasive diagnosis methods for renal disease.
