Kidney health maintenance is very crucial, kidneys are the most frequently injured organ in the genitourinary system, but there is no specific biological marker for this trauma. In a study published in the Journal of Pediatric Urology, researchers have suggested that renalase levels might be a useful biomarker for the diagnosis of renal injury due to blunt renal trauma.

The authors concluded, a definitive diagnosis of traumatic renal injury in children is made with contrast-enhanced computed tomography. However, the scan results in high doses of radiation exposure to children. It is reported for the first time that renalase levels may be useful as a biomarker for the diagnosis of renal injury due to blunt renal trauma.
