Biochemical evaluation of beta-trace protein: A newer glomerular filtration biomarker for early detection and risk assessment of chronic kidney disease over the older creatinine.
OBJECTIVES Early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is essential for improving clinical outcomes. However, serum creatinine (Scr), the conventional biomarker for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR), has notable limitations, particularly in identifying early-stage CKD. This study evaluates beta-trace prot...
