Advanced Renal Injury Diagnosis with ReLIA IFA Kits: NGAL, Cys-C, B2-MG, and MAU Biomarkers from Amindo Biologics
Introduction
Early detection and precise diagnosis are critical in managing renal injury and preventing progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal failure. Traditional markers like serum creatinine have limitations in sensitivity and response time. To bridge this gap, innovative biomarkers such as NGAL, Cystatin-C (Cys-C), Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2-MG), and Microalbuminuria (MAU) have emerged as frontline indicators of renal stress and injury.
Amindo Biologics introduces its cutting-edge ReLIA IFA Kits, an immunofluorescence assay (IFA)-based diagnostic platform designed to deliver high-sensitivity, reliable, and rapid renal biomarker detection.
Key Biomarkers in Renal Injury Diagnosis
1. Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL)
NGAL is among the earliest and most sensitive markers of acute kidney injury (AKI), rising within 2–4 hours of renal insult. It reflects tubular damage and is particularly useful in ICU, post-operative, and nephrotoxic monitoring.
ReLIA IFA Kit Advantage:
- Rapid detection in both serum and urine
- High specificity to differentiate between prerenal and intrinsic AKI
- Ideal for early AKI triage and therapeutic decision-making
2. Cystatin C (Cys-C)
Cys-C is a low-molecular-weight protein produced by all nucleated cells. It is freely filtered by the glomerulus and reabsorbed by the renal tubules, making it a reliable indicator of glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
ReLIA IFA Kit Advantage:
- Superior to creatinine in detecting early changes in GFR
- Not affected by muscle mass, age, or gender
- Useful for chronic kidney disease staging and transplant monitoring
3. Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2-MG)
B2-MG is a marker for both tubular and glomerular function. Elevated levels in urine suggest proximal tubular dysfunction, while increased serum levels can indicate impaired GFR.
ReLIA IFA Kit Advantage:
- High sensitivity for detecting tubular injury
- Useful in renal pathologies like multiple myeloma, nephritis, and drug-induced nephrotoxicity
- Quantitative results aid in monitoring disease progression
4. Microalbuminuria (MAU)
MAU is an early marker of glomerular damage and is crucial in the management of diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive renal injury.
ReLIA IFA Kit Advantage:
- Detects albumin excretion levels far below standard dipstick thresholds
- Aids in cardiovascular and renal risk stratification
- Reliable for routine screening in at-risk populations
