Methods and compositions for diagnosis and prognosis of renal injury and renal failure

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using a one or more assays configured to detect a kidney injury marker selected from the group consisting of Thymic stromal lymphopoietin, Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1, C-C motif chemokine 1, C-C motif chemokine 17, C-C motif chemokine 21, C-C motif chemokine 27, FLT-3 Ligand, Immunoglobulin G subclass 3, Interleukin-1 receptor type I, Interleukin-20, Interleukin-29, Interleukin-7, Platelet-derived growth factor A/B dimer, Platelet-derived growth factor A/A dimer, and MMP9:TIMP2 complex as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in renal injuries.
