Deciphering the urinary microRNAs landscape in nephrotic syndrome: implications as prognostic marker-a non-invasive...

Nephrotic syndrome is a complex renal condition characterized by abnormal protein permeability into the urine space, leading to edema and renal failure. Recent research suggests that deregulation of microRNAs contributes to the pathogenesis of this disease. MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by binding to complementary messenger RNA sequences. In this study, we employed bioinformatics techniques to analyze microRNA expression in urine samples from nephrotic syndrome patients and healthy control participants. Our results revealed a significant disruption of microRNA expression profiles in patients with nephrotic syndrome, indicating that these microRNAs may play a crucial role in the disease. This study highlights the potential of urinary microRNAs as biomarkers for nephrotic syndrome and warrants further investigation into their functional significance in the disease pathogenesis.
