Circulating Long Noncoding RNA TapSAKI Is a Predictor of Mortality in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury
7 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are novel intracellular noncoding ribonucleotides regulating gene expression. Intriguingly, these RNA transcripts are detectable and stable in the blood of patients with cancer and cardiovascular disease. We tested whether circulating lncRNAs in plasma of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) at inception of renal replacement therapy were deregulated and...
