Abstract:

Semaphorin family is a series of proteins which control blood vessels and organs,cell migration,cell factor and axon growth. Among this family,semaphorin 3A(Sema 3A) is a member being studied thoroughly. Recently,several studies show Sema 3A is a new biomarker for the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury. It has been confirmed as a new marker both for acute kidney injury and chronic kidney diseases,and a large amount of data are needed to support its diagnostic performance. Furthermore,Sema 3A is a new and hot research object as a promising target for future clinical treatment in kidney injury. This review focuses on Sema 3A-a new kidney injury diagnosis biomarker.

Key words: Semaphorin 3A, Acute kidney injury, Biomarker
