Texas: Small metabolic molecules naturally produced in the kidney can detect kidney damage 5 to 10 years earlier in diabetic patients.
According to global media reports, a new study has found that there are other molecules than proteins in urine that can predict kidney failure more accurately, and that too years in advance, which could help complete and active treatment.
A global study by researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, found that testing the levels of the metabolite adenine in the urine predicts the risk of kidney failure in patients with diabetes. Can be detected 5 to 10 years in advance.
The study used a biopsy technique in which the researchers determined the locations of adenine and other small molecules in kidney tissue and found that these molecules can move cells in the right direction in health and in the wrong direction in disease. are responsible.
The team of researchers said that the results of the research are very important. Adenine’s ability to accurately predict renal impairment was similar across all 1200 participants. Additionally, a urine protein or albumin test is ineffective for testing the kidneys in diabetic patients.
