Urinary Concentration of Renal Biomarkers in Healthy Term Neonates: Gender Differences in GST-pi Excretion
CONCLUSIONS We showed the urinary levels of calbindin, clusterin, GST-pi, KIM-1, MCP-1, B2M in white, West Slavic, healthy term neonates. We found that in there is an association between female sex and a higher urinary GST-pi excretion, but urinary excretion of calbindin, clusterin, KIM-1, MCP-1, and B2M is sex-independent. The urinary levels of the assessed biomarkers do not depend on the method of delivery.PMID:38389296 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.942819 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)
