摘要

The present invention relates to a detection kit and a detection marker used for diagnosing a renal disease. Also, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a renal disease using the megalin level in urine as an indicator for diagnosing a renal disorder in the form of a marker. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for evaluating effects of treating a renal disease.
