抄録

Nephrotoxicity is one of critical toxicological manifestations in clinical and preclinical investigation. Conventionally, serum creatinine and blood nitrogen urea (BUN) have been used for screening nephrotoxicity status. Advanced research in nephrotoxicity biomarkers was able to demonstrate promising biological molecules produced in biological fluids and tissues for the prediction of nephropathy. Of numerous nephrotoxicity biomarkers, some of them are comparatively evaluated for their potential usefulness. The biomarkers proposed are as follows: kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), cystatin C (Cys), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), N-acetyl-β-Dglucosaminidase (NAG) interleukin-18 (IL-18), and liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP). NGAL has been shown to detect kidney injury earlier than changes in serum creatinine (Scr) in kidney patients. Scr value at the time of diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) or other types of kidney disorders may not provide a reliable diagnostic information about prognosis of kidney injury because it could not reflect the severity or the stage specificity of nephropathy. NGAL levels in urine may be better to predict nephrotoxicity due to its high sensitivity and specificity. Other metabolomic biomarker of citrate was also proposed as a potential useful target metabolite for nephrotoxicity induced by xenobiotics.<br>(Acknowledgement: This research was support by a grant (10182KFDA992-1203) from Korea Food & Drug Administration in 2010)
