Advances in metabolomics profiling of pediatric kidney diseases: A review.

Pediatric renal diseases encompass a diverse array of pathological conditions, often engendering enduring ramifications. Metabolomics, an emergent branch of omics sciences, endeavors to holistically delineate alterations in metabolite compositions through the amalgamation of sophisticated analytical chemistry techniques and robust statistical methodologies. Recent advancements in metabolomics research within the realm of pediatric nephrology have been substantial, offering promising avenues for the identification of robust biomarkers, the elaboration of novel therapeutic targets, and the intricate elucidation of molecular mechanisms. The present discourse aims to critically review the progress in metabolomics profiling pertinent to pediatric renal disorders over the previous 12 years.
