• Summary

    In light of the fact that current researc build up early detection of AKI has produced limited actual clinical applications using various biomarkers such as tissue proteins, nucleic acid, cells or tumor and plasma proteins,we elected to concentrate on a relatively new source of poweful  biomarker, tissue based circular RNA loop

  • Achievements

    Task I:

    Project management and consortium completed

    -Project management and consortium coordination

    -Preparation of the English informed consent

    -Preparation of the Arabic informed consent

    -Finishing  of the ethical committee requirements for approval 

    -Taking the singed approval of the Urology department, Ain Shams university

    hospitals to take the samples from the patients 

    Task II:

    Sample Collection and processing: About 110 samples were collected

    1 _60 samples were collected from 20 patients underwent Extracorporeal Shock Wave

    Lithotripsy (ESWL)

    2_30 samples from 10 Patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).

    3.20 samples from 20 healthy controls
