Current Status of Protein Biomarkers in Urolithiasis-A Review of the Recent Literature

Aleksandra Lasota et al. J Clin Med. .

Abstract

Urolithiasis is an increasingly common clinical problem worldwide. The formation of stones is a combination of metabolic status, environmental factors, family history and many other aspects. It is important to find new ways to quickly detect and assess urolithiasis because it causes sudden, severe pain and often comes back. One way to do this is by exploring new biomarkers. Current advances in proteomic studies provide a great opportunity for breakthroughs in this field. This study focuses on protein biomarkers and their connection to kidney damage and inflammation during urolithiasis.

Keywords: children; protein biomarkers; urolithiasis.
