    摘要: The present disclosure includes biomarkers, methods, devices, reagents, systems, and kits for the evaluation of risk of renal insufficiency within a specified timeframe, for example 4 years. In one aspect, the disclosure provides biomarkers that can be used alone or in various combinations to evaluate risk of renal insufficiency within 4 years. In another aspect, methods are provided for evaluating risk of renal insufficiency within 4 years in an individual, where the methods include detecting, in a biological sample from an individual, at least one biomarker value corresponding to at least one biomarker selected from the group of biomarkers provided in Table 8.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for determining whether a patient will respond to treatment with a myostatin pathway inhibitor, the method comprising: (a) determining a level of myostatin and/or activin type II receptor (ActRII) and/or follistatin in at least one muscle biopsy obtained from a treatment target muscle in a subject having or suspected of having muscle atrophy or a muscle wasting condition; and (b) determining a level of myostatin and/or follistatin in a systemic sample obtained from the patient, wherein if: (i) the level of myostatin in the systemic sample is higher than a threshold and/or if the level of follistatin in the sample is lower than a threshold; and (ii) the level of myostatin and/or ActRII receptor in the at least one biopsy sample is higher than a threshold level and/or if the level of follistatin in the at least one biopsy sample is lower than a threshold level, the patient will respond to treatment.
