  • Patent number: 11926868
    Abstract: This present disclosure provides methods and compositions that can be used to quantify cfDNA in biofluids using a hybridization approach.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Minnie M. Sarwal, Tara K. Sigdel, Joshua Y. Yang
  • Patent number: 11753680
    Abstract: Provided herein is the use of measurements of cell-free DNA, protein, and/or metabolite found in biofluid (e.g., urine) for identifying and treating organ injury. Provided herein are methods and compositions for monitoring, detecting, quantifying, and treating kidney injury in subjects suffering from or suspected of having an altered renal status by measuring amounts of cfDNA and one or more other markers, such as inflammation markers, apoptosis markers, protein, and DNA methylation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2022
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Minnie M. Sarwal, Tara K. Sigdel, Joshua Y. Yang
  • Publication number: 20230072969
    Abstract: Disclose are methods, compositions and kits for the determination of kidney function that provide an alternative to the standard-of-cure used for eGFR calculations. Described herein are methods for quantitative measurement of ADMA and hydration markers in a urine sample, and process used to transform the input of these methods into a measure of kidney function. The methods allow ADMA and other biomarkers to be detected in urine samples from a subject using a simple and inexpensive assay that can be easily performed noninvasively and only require urine samples for the prediction of kidney function.
