The following potential proteases for the different CKD aetiologies were identified: ADPKD (MMP7), MCD (CTSB, CTSD, CTSE, MEP1A, MMP7, PGA3), MGN (MMP3, MMP7, MMP9, MMP13, MMP14), IgAN (MMP7), FSGS (MMP3, MMP7), vasculitis (PGA3), nephritis (MMP7, MMP9), nephrosclerosis (MMP7), and DKD (MMP9). Here, CTSE is linked to vasculitis.
