Szeto C, So H, Poon P, Luk C, Ng J, Fung W, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Jul; 24(14). PMID: 37511572
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays important roles in the regulation of gene expression. We determine the role of using urinary lncRNA as a non-invasive biomarker...

Szeto C, Ng J, Fung W, Chan G, Luk C, Lai K, et al.
Clin Chim Acta . 2022 Mar; 530:81-86. PMID: 35278407
Urinary micro-RNA (miRNA) level may serve as non-invasive disease markers for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), but urinary miRNA targets identified in previous studies may represent kidney scarring rather than being...

Szeto C, Ng J, Fung W, Luk C, Wang G, Chow K, et al.
Kidney Med . 2021 Feb; 3(1):76-82.e1. PMID: 33604541
Rationale & Objective: Previous studies have suggested that microRNA-21 (miR-21) plays an important role in kidney fibrosis. We examined the relationship between intrarenal miR-21 level and rate of kidney function...

Szeto C, Wang G, Ng J, Kwan B, Lai F, Chow K, et al.
BMC Nephrol . 2019 Mar; 20(1):77. PMID: 30832601
Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. Urinary micro-RNA (miRNA) level is increasingly reported to as non-invasive markers of various kidney diseases. We aim to identify...

Ng J, Ma T, Lai F, Chow K, Kwan B, Leung C, et al.
Nephrology (Carlton) . 2017 Apr; 23(6):565-572. PMID: 28425160
Aim: The reported causes of nephrotic syndrome (NS) varies between different countries. Less is known about the causes of nephrotic-range proteinuria (NPU). We aimed to evaluate the underlying causes of...

Wang G, Kwan B, Lai F, Chow K, Ng K, Luk C, et al.
Clin Chim Acta . 2016 Mar; 456:157-162. PMID: 26995661
Background: Glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis play important roles in the progression of chronic kidney disease. We determine whether urinary mRNA levels of extracellular matrix proteins reflect the degree of kidney...

Chiu P, Lai F, Teoh J, Lee W, Yee C, Shu-Yin Chan E, et al.
Ann Surg Oncol . 2016 Mar; 23(8):2707-14. PMID: 26965697
Purpose: To investigate the performance of prostate health index (PHI) and percentage prostate-specific antigen (PSA) isoform [-2]proPSA (%p2PSA) in predicting pathologic outcomes at radical prostatectomy (RP) in a Chinese population....

Szeto C, Wang G, Chow K, Lai F, Ma T, Kwan B, et al.
Clin Nephrol . 2015 Aug; 84(4):198-205. PMID: 26308082
Background: Podocyte depletion is a characteristic feature of progressive renal failure. We hypothesize that studying the podocyte mRNA level in urinary sediment may provide diagnostic and prognostic information in adult...

Chow K, Szeto C, Lai F, Luk C, Kwan B, Leung C, et al.
Ther Clin Risk Manag . 2015 Jun; 11:829-35. PMID: 26056462
Background: We tested the strategy of mTOR inhibitors with calcineurin inhibitor minimization in renal transplant recipients with known chronic allograft dysfunction. Methods: In this open-label, single-arm study, renal transplant patients...

Luk C, Tam L, Kwan B, Wong P, Ma T, Chow K, et al.
J Rheumatol . 2015 May; 42(7):1150-5. PMID: 25979722
Objective: We studied the urinary sediment mRNA level of Th9- and Th22-related cytokines in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: We quantified urinary mRNA levels of interleukin (IL) 9,...
