Official Title: Assessment of Urinary Uromodulin as a Potential Biomarker of Diabetic Nephropathy
Brief Summary:
Diabetes is a major health problem prolonged untreated diabetes cause kidney diseases that can leads to end stage renal disease (ESRD). There are several biomarkers to access the DN severity but there are conflicting regarding the specifity and sensitivity of these biomarkers. So it is important to identify novel biomarker for early detection DN and progression toward ESRD to minimize the prevelance of CKD in human population. Uromodulin is a tubular protein encoded by UMOD gene which expressed predominantly in…
