Core Tip This case-control study evaluates urinary exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) as noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosing immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis. In biopsy-proven IgAN, healthy controls, and diverse glomerular disease controls, a NanoString-based urinary exosomal miRNA panel was profiled, followed by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator feature selection, logistic regression, and combinatorial receiver operating characteristic analysis. A focused set of IgAN-associated miRNAs, and a minimal multi-miRNA combination, demonstrated good diagnostic performance to distinguish IgAN from both healthy individuals and other glomerular diseases, suggesting a potential future role for urine exosomal miRNA signatures in reducing reliance on invasive kidney biopsy.
