Clinical Laboratory
The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension at Cincinnati Children's has had a long-standing interest in the relationship between the human complement system and immune-mediated renal disease.
As a result of this interest, the division's Clinical Laboratory provides a number of measurements helpful in the diagnosis and management of the glomerulonephritides, complement deficiencies, iron deficiency, the dysgammaglobulinemias, systemic lupus erythematosus, therapy-induced immune deficiencies, hereditary angioedema and immunoglobulin subclass deficiencies.
Our clinical lab technicians are certified by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and have a combined 35 years of experience in clinical testing.
The Nephrology Clinical Lab also partners with the Biomarker Laboratory to conduct front-line research into discovering diagnostic markers of disease that will lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses, allowing physicians to better treat patients.
The Biomarker Laboratory
The Biomarker Laboratory is housed in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension and was born out of the shared discovery of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a promising new early diagnostic marker of kidney injury. Our goals are to usher pediatrics into the era of individualized medicine. In addition to original research into the discovery and validation of biomarkers of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, the biomarker research laboratory assists investigators across Cincinnati Children's and around the globe in all stages of biomarker research as collaborations or fee for service, from pre-clinical discovery and assay development to validation in clinical trials.
