Urinary Biomarkers for early kidney CanCer diagnosis

چکیده
Renal cancer accounts for 3% of malignant neoplasms in adults. In 2008, more than 54,000 cases of kidney cancer were diagnosed, and more than 13,000 deaths occurred in the United States. In 2006, the number of deaths from renal cancer was 26,400 in the European Union and more than 100,000 worldwide. The cost of care for kidney cancer in the United States alone was more than $4.4 billion in 2004, predominantly for inpatient expenditures. One in 70 adults in the United States will develop kidney cancer during their lifetimes according to the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Stat Facts Sheets of the National Cancer Institute (http://seer.cancer .gov/statfacts/html/kidrp.html).

Assessment of acute kidney injury by urinary β2-MG and NAG in pediatric cancer patients prescribed with Cisplatin, Carboplatin, and Ifosfamide as the chemotherapeutic agents
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a failure in renal function leading to insufficiency of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Thus, sensitive biomarkers of renal tubular injury are needed to detect AKI earlier. In this study, urinary beta 2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were evaluated for AKI prognosis/diagnosis in pediatric patients suffe...
متن کاملPredictive Values of Urinary Interleukin 18 and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin for Delayed Graft Function Diagnosis in Kidney Transplantation
Background: Delayed graft function is a main complication after deceased donor kidney transplantation that adversely affects graft outcome. Difficulties in prediction and early detection of delayed graft function have hindered the ability to perform proper therapeutic interventions. We investigated whether measuring urinary interleukin 18 and neutrophi...
متن کاملDifferent Biomarkers of Acute kidney Injury in Cancer Patients
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs if the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to remove waste products. When the kidneys lose their ability to filter, dangerous levels of waste products can accumulate, which can upset the chemical composition of the blood and urine. Chemotherapy is one of the methods used to treat or temporarily reduce cancer by using certain medications. The main task of this tr...
متن کاملEvaluation of urinary enzymes in newborns treated with gentamicin
Objective(s): In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of study on early diagnosis of kidney injury through sensitive and specific biomarkers. We examined the practical applicability of the urinary levels of NAG (N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase), AP (alkaline phosphatase), and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) as renal dysfunction screening biomarkers in full and pre-term newborns treated wi...
متن کاملA review of biomarkers in the diagnosis of bladder cancer
Bladder cancer is among the ten most common cancers and the ten main causes of cancer-related deaths in the world. Currently, bladder tumors are diagnosed and followed up using a combination of cystoscopy and cytology. In addition, bladder cancer often recurs and can progress if not closely monitored after initial treatment. Constant monitoring of the patient with cystoscopy, which is an invasi...
