Abstract

d -Serine, a rare enantiomer of serine, is a biomarker of kidney disease and function.

The level of d- serine in the human body is precisely regulated through the urinary clearance of the kidney, and its clearance serves as a new measure of glomerular filtration rate with a lower bias than creatinine clearance.

d-S erine also has a direct effect on the kidneys and mediates the cellular proliferation of tubular cells via mTOR signaling and induces kidney remodeling as a compensatory reaction to the loss of kidney mass.

In living kidney donors, the removal of the kidney results in an increase in blood d- serine level, which in turn accelerates kidney remodeling and augments kidney clearance, thus reducing blood levels of d- serine.

This feedback system strictly controls d -serine levels in the body.

The function of d- serine as a biomarker and modulator of kidney function will be the basis of precision medicine for kidney diseases.
