Identification of Non-Invasive Biomarkers and Indices for Diagnosis of Drug-Induced Acute Interstitial Nephritis
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis results from immune-mediated kidney injury triggered by commonly used drugs and leads to chronic kidney disease. Since there is no reliable non-invasive diagnostic test, the diagnosis of drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis currently requires a kidney biopsy. In this study, the candidate will use biosamples and data from patients with acute interstitial nephritis to identify biomarkers and create indices to diagnose this disease, which will improve clinical care of patients with suspected acute interstitial nephritis and reduce the burden of chronic kidney disease. ! !
