Recently mRNA methylation modification has been extensively examined, including N6-methyladenosine (m6A), N5-methylcytidine (m5C) and N1-methyladenosine (m1A). The dynamic reversible biological processes of mRNA methylation modification include the participations of "Writer", "Eraser" and "Reader". Abnormal methylation may lead to the occurrence and development of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). And mRNA methylation modification shall become a practical biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring kidney diseases.
