Urinary Angiotensinogen Level Is Correlated with Proteinuria in Renal Transplant Recipients

Our findings indicate that high urinary excretion of AGT is associated with proteinuria and lower eGFR in kidney transplant recipients without overt chronic allograft injury. These preliminary results encourage us to design a long-term longitudinal analysis using urinary AGT along with multiple markers to obtain early diagnosis and to predict the prognosis of chronic allograft dysfunction.
