Methods for diagnosis and prognosis of renal injury and renal failure using insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 and metalloproteinase inhibitor 2

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in sepsis patients. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect one or more biomarkers selected from the group consisting of Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7, Beta-2-glycoprotein 1, Metalloproteinase inhibitor 2, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin, Leukocyte elastase, Serum Amyloid P Component, C-X-C motif chemokine 6, Immunoglobulin A, Immunoglobulin G subclass I, C-C motif chemokine 24, Neutrophil collagenase, Cathepsin D, C-X-C motif chemokine 13, Involucrin, Interleukin-6 receptor subunit beta, Hepatocyte Growth Factor, CXCL-1, -2, -3, Immunoglobulin G subclass II, Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4, C-C motif chemokine 18, Matrilysin, C-X-C motif chemokine 11, and Antileukoproteinase as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker assays of renal injury in the sepsis patient.
