Contemporary Perspectives on Chronic Renal Disorders.

The prevalence of renal diseases and its associated burden on healthcare have tremendously risen in the past few years. From simple markers assessing kidney function, current renal research delves into understanding the diseases at the cellular and molecular levels and not just at treating, but at improving quality of life, arresting progression and providing personalized diagnostics and therapy. This narrative review highlights the improvements in diagnostic applications of kidney disease and briefly discusses a few notable biomarkers emphasizing the high throughput omics technologies, as well as contemporary perspectives on renal research. A thorough literature search was performed on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Medline. Suitable Mesh terms were included for the search strategy, and relevant evidence was documented. Language models and pharmacognosy, along with other omics strategies, impose a better understanding of the renal disease, and the remarkable discoveries of noninvasive biomarkers, urine 273-peptide classifier, and urine peptides-based fibrosis classifier have unraveled the associations between mechanistic studies and novel therapeutic drugs. Strides in biomarker research have been able to delineate stages and types with superior specificity and sensitivity, thereby providing a better diagnosis. Renal research reflects a powerful, dynamic, and multifaceted field that drives better advancements and discoveries in personalized medicine, drug interventions, and patient-centered outcomes. Understanding the tangled relationship of the etiology of kidney disease, these developments and future research hold promise for individuals affected by kidney diseases.
