The present invention allows the discrimination of a poor prognosis group even for poor prognosis cases with no overt findings in a conventional test method, and thus allows the assessment of a renal disease, the assessment of the necessity of renal biopsy, prognostic prediction, and the like to be performed exactly.	06-28-2012
20120164667	METHOD FOR TEST ON DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY - Provided is a test method for the detection of diabetic nephropathy at an early stage as compared to a conventional method. Specifically provided are: a test method for diabetic nephropathy, including detecting urinary podocalyxin; the test method, further including assessing diabetic nephropathy at least Stage I; a test reagent for use in the test method; and a test reagent kit for use in the test method. The present invention is based on a finding that urinary podocalyxin reflects the development and condition of diabetic nephropathy with high sensitivity at an early stage as compared to urinary albumin.	06-28-2012
20120322087	METHOD FOR EXAMINING ACUTE RENAL DISORDER - Provided is a test method for acute kidney injury, including detecting urinary podocalyxin. According to the test method, a subject to be tested who has a higher value for the urinary podocalyxin than a reference value can be assessed to have acute kidney injury. Further, as compared to a conventional method, the test method allows acute kidney injury to be assessed accurately and non-invasively, which allows a physical burden on a patient to be reduced. Thus, the test method is useful.	12-20-2012

20110164336	PATTERNED MEDIA AND FABRICATION METHOD THEREOF - Since the surface roughness of a recording layer get larger in the process of fabricating a patterned medium, the spacing between a head and the medium is widened. As a result, the recording performance and corrosion resistance of the medium are degraded. In the patterned medium, a recording layer includes one layer of a crystalline magnetic film or plural layers of crystalline magnetic films, and a magnetic film of an amorphous structure located on the outermost surface of the crystalline magnetic films. The compositional elements of the magnetic film of the amorphous structure are identical to those of the crystalline magnetic film located immediately under the magnetic film. In a fabrication method thereof, the surface of the crystalline magnetic film is turned into amorphous in order to form the magnetic film of the amorphous structure.	07-07-2011
