Serum creatinine concentration, the classical biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in
cats, has important limitations that decrease its value as a biomarker of early CKD. Recently …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the first cause of end stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). Animal
models of the disease can shed light on the pathogenesis of the diabetic nephropathy (DN) …

Background Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the gold standard in assessing renal function
but is impractical. Serum creatinine (sCr) has limited sensitivity in identifying early chronic …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefits and inherent risks of dental cleaning
procedures, based on serum and urine biomarkers for kidney function and tissue damage, in …

Simple Summary Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is used to monitor chronic kidney
disease in humans. The value of FGF-23 in cats is largely unknown. The aim of this study …

Herein, we prepared a novel nanostructure involving Cu shell on Zeolitic imidazolate
frameworks (ZIF-8) and Cu 1− x Ni x (OH) 2 composite (ZIF-8-Cu 1− x Ni x (OH) 2@ Cu) …

The aim of this study was to determine whether serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA)
and cystatin C (CysC) levels can be utilized as more accurate markers of early kidney …

Increased incidence of kidney disease (KD) is a common concern in human and companion
animals. Cats, in particular, are highly susceptible to KD. Novel KD biomarkers would help to …

Early diagnosis of kidney disease continues to be a subject of intense interest. Direct
measurement of glomerular filtration rate is too complicated for first-line practices; thus …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a frequent condition in elderly cats. Bcl-2 is linked to kidney
disease through the processes of apoptosis and fibrosis. The purpose of this study is to …
