Noninvasive disease diagnostics using engineered synthetic urinary biomarkers
… diseases have confusing symptoms, nonspecific biomarkers, or require invasive biopsy; these factors and others contribute to the low rates of early diagnosis for noncommunicable diseases like cancer, clotting disorders, or fibrotic diseases. A promising approach is the introduction of …

Establishing Urinary Biomarkers as Objective Indicators of Dietary Intake In Adolescents
… could be assessed objectively with a panel of urinary biomarkers. Prior research indicates the potential of these urinary biomarkers to reflect dietary intake, but to date, no controlled feeding study has been conducted in adolescents. Using a controlled feeding design, the current study aims …

Urinary Biomarkers and Patient Outcome in Chronic Kidney Disease and Atherosclerotic Heart Disease: The value of IgM-uria and IgG-uria
… or glomerular lesions in non-diabetic patients. Urinary excretion of larger proteins, such as IgM and IgG would better reflect glomerular dysfunction and vascular endothelial damage. In this thesis we aimed to evaluate the value of IgG-uria and IgM-uria in predicting kidney and CV outcome in …

Evaluation of Exposures to Diesel Particulate Matter Utilizing Ambient Air Monitoring and Urinary Biomarkers Among Pedestrian Commuters who Cross the U.S.-Mexico Border at San Ysidro, CA.
Background: Walk-in-line pedestrians crossing the U.S.-Mexico border northbound at the San Ysidro, CA Port of Entry ("Border Commuters") may be at an increased risk of experiencing elevated traffic-related air pollution, including diesel exhaust (DE). DE exposure has been associated with numerous …

Impacts of prenatal phthalate and bisphenol exposure on infant cognition and early language development
… examines associations between prenatal maternal urinary biomarkers of bisphenol and phthalate exposure and VRM paradigm outcome measures of infant cognition. Results suggest adverse impacts of prenatal BPF exposure on information processing speed, of prenatal DEHP exposure on attention in males …

Evaluation of a modified food frequency questionnaire to measure lignans in Australian men and women
… method, the weighed food record (WFR), and urinary biomarkers, to measure phytoestrogen intake in the Australian context. The phytoestrogen FFQ was updated and refined to align with food groups and dietary patterns in the current Australian Dietary Guidelines, in particular to optimise …

Studies of normothermic machine perfusion in human kidney transplantation
… same cohort I assessed the relationship between urinary biomarkers and existing quality assessment scores (QAS) to evaluate the role of NMP as an assessment tool. Kidneys from older donors with longer cold ischaemia had poorer QAS and this resulted in worse 12 month follow-up outcomes compared to …

Correlation of urinary mcp-1 and tweak with renal histology and early response to therapy in newly biopsied patients with lupus nephritis in cape town, South Africa
… and not freely available in most centres. Novel urinary biomarkers such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and tumour necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) are secreted in the kidney and may be useful for predicting histological class, monitoring flares and assessing …

Using Recovery Biomarkers to Evaluate Dietary Compliance in Young Adults Provided Controlled Diets High in Ultra-Processed Foods and Free from Ultra-Processed Foods
… Objective dietary assessment methods, such as urinary recovery biomarkers, offer reliable measures of dietary intake.46 As part of a larger controlled feeding trial, this study utilized 24-hour urinary biomarkers such as sodium, potassium, nitrogen (protein), and phosphorus to assess dietary …

HOT study: the development, management and results from phase IIB, randomised controlled trial of heme arginate in recipients of deceased donor renal transplants
… involved collecting urine for analysis of urinary biomarkers (KIM-1 and NGAL), taking renal graft biopsies pre-op and day 5 for renal HO-1 analysis and collecting renal function data. DGF was calculated daily. To ensure that all adverse event data was captured, the recipients were closely …

MicroRNAs as biomarkers of injury and drug response in renal transplantation
… their roles as both mechanistic regulators, and biomarkers of disease and drug response. High- throughput approaches such as small RNA-Sequencing (sRNA-seq) have recently been widely used to identify dysregulated microRNAs in renal injury and disease. However, the interpretation of these changes …
