A panel of urinary biomarkers to monitor reversibility of renal injury and a serum marker with improved potential to assess renal function

A panel of urinary biomarkers enables the progression of renal injury and subsequent repair and recovery to be monitored after exposure of rats to either carbapenem A or gentamicin. The authors complement this study by demonstrating that serum cystatin C is more sensitive and specific than serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in monitoring generalized renal function after exposure to nephrotoxicants.
