Toward Building Better Biomarkers Statistical Methodology
Clinical Considerations
There is concern regarding the clinical utility of biomarkers in kidney disease (Acute Kidney Injury [AKI], Chronic Kidney Disease [CKD], various forms of glomerulonephritis [GN], and polycystic kidney disease [PKD]) for prediction of diverse clinical outcomes (such as loss of renal function, development of cardiovascular disease, diminution of quality of life, death), as well as in drug development (for refinement of risk stratification or drug response). There is dissatisfaction with the results of published biomarker studies and the lack of uptake of biomarkers in clinical practice in patients...
