Title:
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS TO DETECT KIDNEY FIBROSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/217899
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions and methods to detect proteins associated with kidney fibrosis. Such biomarkers may be useful to allow individuals susceptible to kidney fibrosis to manage their lifestyle and reduce further progression of disease.
