Copyright Saliva-based diagnostics offer a promising, non-invasive alternative for monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly in resource-limited or outpatient settings. This review highlights that salivary urea and creatinine, especially via the spitting method, show consistent correlations with serum levels, supporting their potential use in CKD screening and monitoring. However, salivary parathyroid hormone and calcium exhibit weaker associations due to physiological and analytical limitations. Standardization of collection methods and further mechanistic and clinical research are essential to optimize the clinical utility of salivary biomarkers in CKD.

Core Tip Saliva-based diagnostics offer a promising, non-invasive alternative for monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly in resource-limited or outpatient settings. This review highlights that salivary urea and creatinine, especially via the spitting method, show consistent correlations with serum levels, supporting their potential use in CKD screening and monitoring. However, salivary parathyroid hormone and calcium exhibit weaker associations due to physiological and analytical limitations. Standardization of collection methods and further mechanistic and clinical research are essential to optimize the clinical utility of salivary biomarkers in CKD.
