WCN24-220 Associations of biomarkers of podocyte injury with histopathologic lesions and foot process effacement in individuals with glomerular disease

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Podocyte injury is a key event in glomerular disease (GD) pathogenesis. Urinary biomarkers specific for podocyte injury could aid in the diagnosis and surveillance of GD activity. In this study, we assessed three candidate biomarkers of podocytopathy – podocalyxin, podocin, and nephrin – and their associations with eGFR, proteinuria, underlying histopathologic changes, and foot process effacement (FPE) in GD.
