Abstract

Kidney injury is the main cause of mortality and morbidity globally. The kidney injury molecule (KIM-1) is a type 1 transmembrane protein, which is been upregulated during renal injury at high levels in urine, serum, plasma, and tissues and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of renal diseases. Kidney injury molecule has been used as a marker for the diagnosis of renal disease at an early stage as well as to predict the progression of disease with a clinical outcome. This review article aims to discuss and summarize the available literature data regarding KIM-1 being a potential marker for diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognosis of clinical outcomes and management in kidney diseases. We also discuss the relationship between KIM-1 and kidney injury in a few common renal diseases such as acute pyelonephritis, acute tubular nephrosis (ATN), diabetic kidney disease (DKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and other pathologies.

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

This review adds to the body of work on kidney injury molecule 1 on different types of kidney diseases in different ethnic groups. Further, we summarize the literature data regarding KIM-1 being a potential marker for diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognosis of clinical outcomes and management in kidney diseases.
