BACKGROUND Uromodulin (also known as Tamm-Horsfall protein) is the most abundant urinary protein in healthy individuals and exhibits diverse functions including prevention of ascending urinary tract infections by binding type I-fimbriated Escherichia coli. Although uromodulin is targeted to the apical membrane of thick ascending limb (TAL) cells and secreted into the lumen, detectable levels ar...
Familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (FJHN) and medullary cystic kidney disease type 2 (MCKD2) are autosomal dominant disorders characterized by juvenile hyperuricemia of the underexcretion type, juvenile gout and chronic renal failure in the adult. FJHN/MCKD2 constitute diseases caused by mutations of the human uromodulin (UMOD) gene that encodes uromodulin, the most abundant glycoprote...
Uromodulin is expressed exclusively in the thick ascending limb and is the most abundant protein excreted in normal urine. Variants in UMOD, which encodes uromodulin, are associated with renal function, and urinary uromodulin levels may be a biomarker for kidney disease. However, the genetic factors regulating uromodulin excretion are unknown. We conducted a meta-analysis of urinary uromodulin ...
INTRODUCTION Urinary uromodulin excretion has been associated with kidney diseases. However, serum uromodulin concentrations have not been extensively studied in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the results of published studies are inconsistent. OBJECTIVES The aims of the study were to evaluate serum uromodulin concentrations in patients with CKD and to assess the utility of seru...
Uromodulin (Tamm-Horsfall protein) is produced in the kidney by cells of the thick ascending limb and distal tubule. Recent genetic studies suggest a role of uromodulin in chronic kidney disease. Mutations in the UMOD gene cause uromodulin storage disease. They code for amino acid substitutions that lead to misfolding of the molecule and its retention in the endoplasmic reticulum. Single nucleo...
This study was designed to investigate the changes of urinary microvesicle-bound uromodulin and total urinary uromodulin levels in human urine and the correlations with the severity of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). 31 healthy subjects without diabetes and 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were included in this study. The patients with T2DM were divided into three groups based o...
BACKGROUND Uromodulin, or Tamm-Horsfall protein, is the most abundant urinary protein in healthy individuals. Recent studies have suggested that uromodulin may play a role in chronic kidney diseases. We examined an IgA nephropathy cohort to determine whether uromodulin plays a role in the progression of IgA nephropathy. METHODS A total of 344 IgA nephropathy patients were involved in this stu...
Objectives: Uromodulin is a protein exclusively produced by Kidney in tubular cells lining thick ascending limb (TAL) of the loop of Henle. It has been linked to water electrolyte balance, protective role against urinary tract infections and renal stone formation. To analyse its trend in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), its levels were analysed in serum and urine of patients at different stages of...
Uromodulin is a protein which is produced by the tubular cells of the thick ascending limb in the kidneys and the creatinine to uromodulin ratio in serum recently has attracted interest as a marker of kidney disease. Whether this ratio also is associated with cardiovascular event risk is unknown. This article provides additional data on the association of the creatinine to uromodulin ratio with...
The glycosylated protein uromodulin is exclusively found in the thick ascending limb cells (TAL) of the kidney, where it is produced on mass and apically targeted, eventually being secreted into the urine. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in this protein due to its ability to interact with the immune system, implicating this protein as a renal inflammatory molecule. Here we investiga...
