WCN25-3005 Do Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) Isoforms Predict Chronic Kidney Disease Progression?
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) has both fibrotic and protective roles; as a mediator of fibrosis, it can serve as a novel biomarker for early diagnosis and prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can occur silently and progress to end stage kidney disease (ESKD) in resource constrained settings.
