Translational Urinomics

Translational Urinomics provides an overview of urine analysis using proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics or any combination thereof for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases related to the urinary system and the kidneys. The text approaches urine biomarkers from a new perspective, incorporating up-to-date studies of mass-spectrometry-based biomarker discovery as well as the latest advances in personalized medicine. The integration of technology-driven techniques, such as OMICS also provides a unique opportunity for improved diagnostics accuracy of urinary-related diseases. For nephrologists and urologists looking for new approaches to well-known problems, this edited volume serves as a valuable guide.

Provides an overview of modern analysis of urine biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases related to the urinary system and the kidneys Bridges the gap between proteomics and medicine from a practical perspective Describes the basis of proteomics in precision and personalized premedicine in nephrology and urology
