Abstract:
The second part of this review is devoted to the issues of modern and promising diagnosis of RN in children. The advantages and limits of the available methods for recording the structural and functional state of the kidneys in childhood are considered. Particular attention is paid to possibilities non-invasive methods for diagnosis and prediction of the disease course. Data on promising biomarkers of the early stages of RN formation and progression are presented. For the purpose of a comprehensive and adequate assessment of morphological changes in the kidneys, the necessity of studying various combinations of cytokines in biological media with the subsequent determination of the optimal spectrum is shown. The sensitivity and specificity of molecular indicators of renal damage reviewed as potential targets for renoprotective therapy in the nearest future.
