Abstract Background: There are significant implications for kidney disease in young adults
with congenital heart disease. Prior investigations have not focused on the use of
urinary tubular biomarkers for the early identification of kidney disease in this growing patient group.
Objective: Determine if young adults with congenital heart disease have differences in the baseline concentration of urinary tubular biomarkers when compared to
healthy young adults.
Design/Methods: In a pilot case control study, 30 patients from 18 to 35 years of age

a routine follow-up visit. In the same age… More >
