Abstract

KIM‐1, a transmembrane tubular protein with unknown function, is undetectable in normal kidneys, but is markedly induced in experimental renal injury. The KIM‐1 ectodomain is cleaved, detectable in urine, and reflects renal damage. KIM‐1 expression in human renal biopsies and its correlation with urinary KIM‐1 (uKIM‐1) is unknown. In biopsies from various renal diseases ( n = 102) and controls ( n = 7), the fraction of KIM‐1 positive tubules and different renal damage parameters were scored. Double labelling was performed for KIM‐1 with macrophages (M Ø ), α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), proximal (aquaporin‐1) and distal (E‐cadherin) tubular markers and a dedifferentiation marker (vimentin). uKIM‐1 at the time of biopsy ( n = 53) was measured by ELISA. Renal KIM‐1 was significantly increased in all diseases versus controls ( p < 0.05), except minimal change. KIM‐1 was primarily expressed at the luminal side of dedifferentiated proximal tubules, in areas with fibrosis (α‐SMA) and inflammation (M Ø ). Independent of the disease, renal KIM‐1 correlated positively with renal damage, negatively with renal function, but not with proteinuria. uKIM‐1 was increased in renal patients versus controls ( p < 0.001), including minimal change, and correlated positively with tissue KIM‐1 and M Ø , negatively with renal function, but not with proteinuria. In conclusion, KIM‐1 is upregulated in renal disease and is associated with renal fibrosis and inflammation. uKIM‐1 is also associated with inflammation and renal function, and reflects tissue KIM‐1, indicating that it can be used as a non‐invasive biomarker in renal disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
