Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves gradual loss of functioning of kidneys. The normal function of kidneys are to filter out and excrete wastes, and excess fluids from the blood are excreted through urine. However, when an individual is suffering from chronic kidney disease, kidneys cannot perform their natural function and wastes, fluids, and electrolytes build up in the body in excess amounts.
Restraints of the Global Renal Biomarkers Market
Factors such as low sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers is expected to hinder growth of the global renal biomarkers market. For instance, some renal biomarkers such as L-18 are more specific although are not very sensitive, while other biomarkers such as osteopontin are highly sensitive though they are not specific.
