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). This evidence concerns the gene PGA3 and nephritis.
