A novel diagnostic method to determine the likelihood of kidney fibrosis and progressive CKD in patients with diabetes mellitus and other forms of chronic proteinuric renal disease

The project aims to develop a new non-invasive diagnostic method to detect patients with early CKD, a major health burden that is mainly driven by obesity and diabetes. It will specifically determine whether exfoliated tubular cells in the urine reflect kidney disease progression and hence provide a proof of concept on whether our newly developed hyperspectral technique can be used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to identify patients with kidney disease.
