Preclinical studies suggest that PXR activation demonstrates protective effects in AKI through multiple mechanisms, including reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Meanwhile, the urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and C3 were also examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to compare with CFHR2 to determine whether CFHR2 had an advantage in predicting the early detection and progression of DKD. The Spearman correlation analysis was performed for the correlation analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>CFHR2 had superior diagnostic power to predict the early occurrence of DKD and disease progression, compared with NGAL, microalbumin, and C3 in urine.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>CFHR2 has satisfactory potential to be a biomarker for early diagnosis and risk of progression of DKD.</p>","PeriodicalId":10873,"journal":{"name":"Current molecular medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144180945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
