Urinary Tubular Biomarkers for Chronic Kidney Disease
Sponsor: Erasmus Medical Center
Summary
Currently used tests for chronic kidney injury only assess the function of one part of the kidney: the filter called the glomerulus. The other part, called the tubule, is disregarded. Based on many previous studies, the investigators have good reason to assume that a better prediction of the course of chronic kidney disease by testing tubular function will be possible. This is important, for example, when patients need to be treated with kidney-protecting drugs.

Urinary tubular test panel
The urinary tubular test panel will be applied to urine samples that are collected as part of the routine outpatient follow-up. Its predictive power for CKD progression will be assessed. The results of the tubular test panel will not influence the treatment of the patients. They will remain under standard outpatient treatment throughout the study.
