The master’s thesis in the Department of Clinical Chemistry at the College of Medicine, University of Karbala discussed the role of some biomarkers in predicting kidney function. The thesis submitted by the researcher (Ayat Khader Ali Obaid) included the title “The role of some biomarkers in predicting kidney function in polycystic kidney disease in adults”
The discussion committee consisted of:
Assistant Professor Dr. Haider Abdul Jabbar Al-Ammar, Chairman
Assistant Professor Dr. Suzan Jaber Abbas, Member
Assistant Professor Dr. Ammar Kani Yassin, Member
Assistant Professor Dr. Rana Majeed Hamid, Supervisor
Professor Riyadh Muhyi Abboud Al-Sayegh, Supervisor
The study aimed to estimate the level of NAGAL and KIM-1 biomarkers modified for eGFR
The study also found that htTKV, NGAL and KIM-1 are major markers for monitoring chronic kidney function decline, but both (NGAL) and KIM-1 are less effective in diagnosing the early stage of chronic kidney disease
