Eighteen differentially expressed proteins were found to overlap between the CKD and post-transplant CKD groups including biomarkers of kidney disease (cystatin C, β2-microglobulin, and REN) and biomarkers of inflammation (CFD, IGFBP-2, PRSS 2, Chemokine Ligand 15 (CCL-15), and TNFRSF-1B). The gene discussed is CCL15; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
