Abstract:

Extracelluar vesicles(EV) are vesicles which are released from most cell types during budding and cell membrane fission. EV specific molecules,such as proteins,nucleic acids and lipids,are expected as novel biomarkers. EV exists in the body fluid of human body. Urine is a good target for the research of EV,with the advantages of sufficient volume,obtaining easily and non-invasive operation. The component urine EV may be potential as biomarkers of various diseases. This review mainly focuses on the determination of urine EV and its clinical application.

Key words: Extracelluar vesicle, Urine, Novel biomarker
