Abstract | Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a complex challenge with diverse underlying pathological mechanisms and etiologies. Current detection methods predominantly rely on serum creatinine, which exhibits substantial limitations in specificity and poses the issue of late-stage detection of kidney injury. In this review, we propose an up-to-date and comprehensive summary of advancements that identified novel biomarker candidates in blood and urine and ideal criteria for AKI biomarkers such as renal injury specificity, mechanistic insight, prognostic capacity, and affordability. Recently identified biomarkers not only indicate injury location but also offer valuable insights into a range of pathological processes, encompassing reduced glomerular filtration rate, tubular function, inflammation, and adaptive response to injury. The clinical applications of AKI biomarkers are becoming extensive and serving as relevant tools in distinguishing acute tubular necrosis from other acute renal conditions. Also, these biomarkers can offer significant insights into the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease CKD and in the context of kidney transplantation. Integration of these biomarkers into clinical practice has the potential to improve early diagnosis of AKI and revolutionize the design of clinical trials, offering valuable endpoints for therapeutic interventions and enhancing patient care and outcomes. |
