The correlation between albuminuria and cystatin C in the assessment of the kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Introduction: Cystatin C has shown a better correlation with albuminuria in relation to creatinine. It filters in glomeruli, reabsorbs in tubules, and does not go back into circulation, which makes it a reliable parameter for the assessment of kidney ...

Kidney Fibrosis In Vitro and In Vivo Models: Path Toward Physiologically Relevant Humanized Models
This review discusses kidney diseases with a focus on kidney fibrosis and the models currently used. It highlights the limitations of animal and 2D in vitro models in replicating human kidney anatomy and physiology. Consequently, there is a significant need for humanized 3D in vitro models, such as 3D cell aggregates, membranes and hydrogels, on‐chip ...
