Study identifies biomarkers that could help predict and manage chronic kidney disease

​Biomarkers that could help predict and manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been identified in a new study led by the University of Surrey.

Study Finds Biomarkers That May Help Predict, Manage Chronic Kidney Disease

New research reveals that novel biomarkers enhance risk prediction for kidney failure and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD), paving the way for personalized treatment.

Scientists at the University of Surrey have found clues in the blood that could help doctors predict how kidney disease will develop.

The research, funded by Kidney Research UK, looked at almost 2,900 patients from specialist clinics across the UK. They found some blood markers could predict kidney failure, while others signalled higher risk of death. Experts say the results could help doctors give patients more tailored treatment in the future.
