RICO FONTALVO, Jorge et al. Urinary proteome in diabetic kidney disease: state of the art. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.3, e304.  Epub 01-Jan-2022. ISSN 2500-5006.  https://doi.org/10.22265/acnef.8.3.546.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the main microvascular complication in patients with diabetes mellitus; it is an entity that generates a significant increase in mortality of cardiovascular origin in this group of patients, although its early diagnosis has a significant impact on the evolution to end-stage kidney disease and, therefore, on mortality. The detection of albuminuria in urine and the deterioration of the estimated glomerular filtration rate are the main diagnostic techniques that are used in clinical practice to establish the presence of DKD; however, they have limitations and therefore it is important to note that kidney damage is usually irreversible once they are present. Over the last few years, numerous studies have focused on the discovery of new biomarkers to detect DKD and this is where the urinary proteomics appears as a new tool, an emerging technology that allows the identification of proteins in a urine sample that strongly suggest the early presence of this disease. Likewise, the discovery of proteomic-based biomarkers represents a novel strategy to improve the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of diabetic nephropathy; however, proteomics-based approaches are not yet available in the majority of clinical chemistry laboratories.
