“…Rheum palmatum L. and its anthraquinone compounds can cause renal damage under certain conditions (Yan et al, 2006; increased with high sensitivity in the preclinical AKI model, up regulated expression in AKI, renal fibrosis, renal cell carcinoma and other models (Vinken et al, 2012) uTP glomerulus predicted early glomerular injury sensitively and specifically, widely used in the prevention and monitoring of kidney diseases in clinical research (Peterson et al, 1969) b2-MG Proximal convoluted tubule; glomerulus the monomer form of it can be filtered through glomerulus and reabsorbed by proximal convoluted tubular cells; limited in clinical application due to its instability in acidic urine (Schaub et al, 2005) cystatin C Proximal convoluted tubule; glomerulus; distal convoluted tubules; collecting duct passed glomerular filtration and reabsorbed by proximal convoluted tubular cells; reflected renal tubular dysfunction due to its increase in urine (Waring and Moonie, 2011;de Geus et al, 2012;Pianta et al, 2017) Kim-1 Proximal convoluted tubule used in preclinical and clinical acute renal injury studies, up regulated expression in AKI, renal fibrosis and other preclinical and clinical models (Ichimura et al, 2008;Waring and Moonie, 2011;de Geus et al, 2012) TFF-3 Proximal convoluted tubule mainly expressed in intestinal and renal tissues, increased expression and activity in ulcer tissue (Xing et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2019) albumin Proximal convoluted tubule; glomerulus also increased expression in the state of inflammation, bleeding, urinary tract infections, fever or stress. not a specific index of nephrotoxicity, needs to be combined with other markers (Schött et al, 2018;Luo et al, 2018a;Fernańdez et al, 2019) RPA-1 collecting duct predicted the early toxicity of renal papilla and has a good correlation with the degree of renal papilla injury (Betton et al, 2012) NGAL renal tubule; collecting duct considered to be a good marker of acute renal injury, and also a powerful early marker to assist the diagnosis of AKI and CKD. Increased the serum NGAL level in the state of inflammation and infection…”
