Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) is a protein that is released by renal tubular cells in response to injury to promote phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and cellular debris and drive the repair of injured renal tubules, and as such is a urinary biomarker of AKI and chronic kidney disease (CKD) [103]. This evidence concerns the gene HAVCR1 and chronic kidney disease.
