High levels of a protein known as suPAR, which has been shown to be a marker and likely cause of kidney damage, is as reliably predictive in children as in adults, according to results of a study ...

Between 15 and 20 percent of black people carry a genetic mutation that puts them at risk for certain chronic kidney disease, but only about half of them develop the illness – a variance that long has ...

Blood clots are thought to occur in as many as a third of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. In many cases these clots can be deadly, such as pulmonary embolisms—blood clots that travel to the lungs ...

Acute kidney injury is a frequent complication following hematopoietic cell transplantation. Risk factors include allogeneic (vs. autologous) transplant, conditioning regimens, engraftment syndrome, ...

Scientists have improved their understanding of kidney failure for patients that possess high levels of suPAR protein (soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor). Researchers studied suPAR ...

In a study, AKI risk was 3- to 4-fold higher among patients with the highest vs lowest suPAR levels. Elevated levels of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), a signaling ...

August 29, 2012 — An elevation in soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels may predict case fatality and is associated with severe sepsis among patients admitted to the ...

Researchers have identified soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels as a potential biomarker for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Salim S. Hayek, MD, from the Division of ...

A new observational study finds patients in the hospital for COVID-19 have high levels of soluble urokinase receptor (suPAR), an immune-derived pathogenic protein that is strongly predictive of kidney ...

A study from a COVID-19 cohort reveals an additional link between the immune system and blood clots, which could improve the treatment of critical illnesses. Blood clots are thought to occur in as ...
