Identifying a potential biomarker for primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and its association with recurrence after transplantation

Abstract

Our analysis of suPAR using the ELISA assay used in all previous studies does not appear to be a useful marker for FSGS nor serve as a predictor for its recurrence after transplantation. The TR-FIA assay results suggest that uPAR(I) is a potential biomarker for FSGS but not of its recurrence.
