Protein 'Leak' Proves Reliable Stand-in for Kidney Failure in Clinical Trials
An updated meta-analysis has reinforced the value of using early changes in proteinuria—protein leaking into the urine—as a reliable predictor for long-term kidney failure in patients with IgA nephropathy. This validation allows researchers to assess new treatments more quickly, potentially accelerating the development of therapies for this rare condition.
