Urinary extracellular vesicles detect altered renal circulation in human obesity
Aim: Obesity may induce renal microvascular injury, particularly in peritubular capillaries (PTCs). Early detection of these changes may help patient management. We tested the hypothesis that levels of PTC-derived urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) reflecting early renal microvascular alterations would be elevated i...
