Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| -Kidney function/regeneration/injury markers such as creatinine, stathmin and PCNA, albumin, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and N-acetyl glucosaminidase (NAG). - Isolation and profiling of exosomes from serum and urine (using lineage- or cell lineage-specific markers) including evaluation as a potential effector in co-culture with renal cells | — |
