文摘
Serum Uromodulin is a promising biomarker for tubular kidney function. ADTKD-UMOD is a rare hereditary disease with mutations in the gene coding for uromodulin. Uromodulin mutations impede intracellular trafficking leading to accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum of tubular cells. We show that in ADTKD-UMOD patients serum uromodulin is decreased relative to the expected value for corresponding eGFR. Serum uromodulin could be used as a diagnostic tool to identify patients with suspected ADTKD-UMOD.
