Protein biomarkers in renal transplantation

Introduction: The standard of care for monitoring renal transplant patients include transplant biopsy and serum creatinine measurements. These are invasive procedures and are late and nonspecific markers of injury. Proteomics and proteins can provide biomarkers for monitoring pathology and become a useful tool in detection and treatment of conditions that occur after transplant.Areas covered: A survey of 273 studies in the biomarker detection...
