Molecular nephrology: types of acute tubular injury

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 22 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41581-019-0184-xAcute kidney injury (AKI) is diagnosed by the serum concentration of creatinine (SCr), an insensitive marker of kidney function. The authors of this Review discuss the properties of ideal biomarkers of tubular damage and how they can be combined with SCr-based AKI definitions to provide greater insights into the processes underlying acute tubular injury.
