Sumario:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a great burden to global public health as current therapies are generally ineffective. Early detection and effective therapy are crucial for the future prevention and progression of CKD. Nanoparticles (NPs) vary by particle size, charge, shape and the density of targeting ligands and are associated with enhancement of the pharmacokinetic properties, targetability, or the bioavailability of drugs. Thus, the emergence of NPs in medicine has provided novel solutions to the potential diagnosis and treatment of CKD. This review describes the current experimental research, clinical applications of NPs, the current challenges, and upcoming opportunities in the diagnosis and treatment of CKD.
