| Summary: | Abstract: Nephropathy due to damage of filtration barrier is a primary origin of end stage ren al disease in Diabetics. It is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Mostly clinicians rely on urine analysis of Albumin. In the recent years extensive research has been conducted to find out a novel biomarker which can help in the early diagnosis of nephropathy. A search was conducted regarding publications of new diagnostic biomarkers for nephropathy. Among many renal biomarker researched lately, Nephrin was identified as the one that can become an early predictor of nephropathy and the levels of which can also ascertain the severity of the disease. Key Words: Nephrin, Microalbuminuria, Diabetic Nephropathy. |
