Research Article: Renal injury, biomarkers, and myositis, an understudied aspect of disease: prospective study in the MyoCite cohort

Date Published: 2023-06-22

Abstract:
Introduction: The mechanisms leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are poorly understood. We assessed the prevalence of subclinical renal injury in patients with IIMs, through elevation in biomarker levels of tubular injury and fibrosis (NGAL, KIM1, Activin A, CD163, and Cys-c), and assessed differences between subtypes of IIMs, and the effect of disease activity and duration.
