Researchers used small-angle X-ray scattering to determine the full structure of the motor protein Myo1c and its complex with Neph1, a protein crucial for kidney filtration. Their findings suggest ...

Researchers have identified a new molecular pathway that appears to be involved in urinary protein loss, an early-stage kidney disease that affects 100 million people around the world, and is caused ...

A cross-sectional analysis found that protein biomarkers were associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate, which may capture early kidney impairment. A study published in PLOS One found ...

High-protein diets increase estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), according to findings published online in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases. The investigators studied 164 healthy adults ...

Credit: Thinkstock Regular monitoring of kidney function and other health markers is necessary to tailor protein intake in PKD management. A personalized approach to protein intake for patients with ...

One of the earliest signs that the kidneys are not functioning the way they should, is the leaking of protein into the urine, medically referred to as proteinuria. In a healthy body, the kidneys ...

The consequence of low blood protein depends on how low the protein becomes, which protein is low, and the cause of the low protein. Having a correct level of protein in the blood is essential for ...
