ABSTRACT:
We disclose a new and useful biomarker for acute kidney injury (i.e., AKI), renal ischemia reperfusion injury (i.e., IRI), ischemic acute kidney injury, and/or ischemic acute tubular necrosis (i.e., ATN). The biomarker is GRO-alpha (i.e., CXCL1, chemokine C-X-C ligand 1, GRO1, GROa, MGSA, MGSA alpha, MGSA-a, NAP-3, SCYB1). We detected the biomarker using a QUANTIKINE® human GRO-alpha immunoassay (Cat. No. DGR00, R & D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn.). In addition, we disclose a method of treating lung damage.
