Abstract
Objective: There were main two objectives, first was the identification of best biomarkers for early screening of kidney diseases whether plasma urea and creatinine or novel urinary low molecular weight protein biomarkers Interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and cystatin-C. Second was the therapeutic efficacy of methanol fraction of Terminalia arjuna (MFTA) on urinary novel biomarkers.
 Methods: A total of 35 adult male rats were divided into three Groups (n=5), Group 1 was fed normal food, Group 2, normal food with administration of acetaminophen (APAP) for 5 days, 10 days, and 15 days, and Group 3, normal food with administration of APAP and coadministration of MFTA for 5 days, 10 days, and 15 days. All rats were sacrificed at 15th day of the experiment.
 Results: Results showed 5 days, 10 days, and 15 days administrations of APAP increased novel urinary biomarkers as IL-18, KIM-1 near two-folds and cystatin-C near six-folds increased than old biomarkers plasma urea and plasma creatinine. Administration of APAP with coadministration of MFTA represented the protective effect by decreasing old and new novel biomarkers with superoxide dismutase and catalase but malondialdehyde level increased. Sodium dodecyle sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed new low molecular weight urinary protein bands in APAP administration rats, the protective effect of MFTA presents no band at this molecular level as normal rats.
 Conclusion: MFTA is the most potent nephroprotective agent, and urinary low molecular proteins are the best thing diagnostic tools for early detection of kidney disease over common plasma urea and creatinine.
Highlights
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an irreversible progressive disorder of structural and functional changes in kidney parenchyma into five stages on the presence of decreased kidney function and measured by the concentration of serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate [1]
Changes of old kidney disease biomarkers versus new kidney disease biomarkers of progression of kidney disease by APAP administration APAP administration for 5 days in Group 2 (A-5) rats rises plasma urea 38.39% and plasma creatinine 51.61% significantly (p

Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an irreversible progressive disorder of structural and functional changes in kidney parenchyma into five stages on the presence of decreased kidney function and measured by the concentration of serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate [1]. From the earlier background of our research, different anti-uremic and renoprotective plant extract such as phytocompounds from Terminalia arjuna (TA) [3], Asparagus racemosus [4], and Withania somnifera [5] which efficiently played as a remedy on experimentally induced uremic and oxidative stress rats. Alternative therapy such as alpha lipoic acid [6] and probiotic [7] shown brilliance nephroprotective action against the administration of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced renal failure male rats in our laboratory [8]. KIM-1 appears in urine by specific mild renal tubular disorder [10], IL-18 for proximal tubular necrosis [11], and cystatin-C for kidney tissue macrophages cell in collecting duct [12] after duration dependent induction of kidney disease by peritoneal administration of acetaminophen in rats and evaluate the urinary protein band by protein gel electrophoresis that was best result of protein marker would be sequence and identified in future
