Salivary Urea and Creatinine as a Diagnostic Marker of Chronic Kidney Disease – Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Saliva, a bodily fluid is known to express several proteins on it’s own and secretions that diffuse secondarily from the serum. Such an expression is seen in normal physiology and also in pathology. Expression of serum renal function markers – creatinine and urea in saliva has gained greater attention in recent times towards research based on using saliva as a non-invasive diagnostic method. However, there are several isolated studies based on clinical criterias that discuss about the use of saliva as a diagnostic method in patients with chronic kidney disease. This article aims to present an over view of the available literature and discuss about current proceedings and possiblities for future directions.
