Used in biomedical research to detect and quantify Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (Kim-1) in urine or tissue samples, aiding in the early assessment of acute kidney injury (AKI) and nephrotoxicity. Commonly applied in preclinical drug development to evaluate potential kidney damage caused by new pharmaceuticals. Also utilized in clinical studies to investigate renal diseases, monitor disease progression, and assess response to treatment. Provides a sensitive and specific tool for researchers studying kidney function and injury mechanisms.
