Automated Enzymatic Method Quantifies Pyruvate Kinase in Erythrocytes
A deficiency of red blood cell (RBC) pyruvate kinase (PK), inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, is the most common cause of hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (HSHA). The hemolysis is owing to the inability of the PK-deficient RBCs to maintain adequate quantities of ATP. More...05 Mar 2020
Regular Thyroid Testing Recommended Regardless of Diabetes Type
Thyroid dysfunction is common among people with diabetes regardless of type, suggesting that biochemical thyroid screening should be a part of routine management for those with type 1 and type 2. A recent study has determined the prevalence and incidence of thyroid dysfunction in type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults. More...05 Mar 2020
Glucose Point-of-Care Measurements Evaluated for Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is a condition in which a woman without diabetes develops high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes generally results in few symptoms; however, it does increase the risk of pre-eclampsia, depression, and requiring a Caesarean section. More...04 Mar 2020
Low Folate Levels Can Indicate Malnutrition in Hospital Patients
Folate deficiency, also known as vitamin B9 deficiency, is a low level of folate and derivatives in the body. Signs of folate deficiency are often subtle. A low number of red blood cells (anemia) are a late finding in folate deficiency and folate deficiency anemia is the term given for this medical condition. More...04 Mar 2020
Proenkephalin Assesses True Glomerular Filtration Rate Accurately
The assessment of renal function in clinical practice remains challenging. Using creatinine to assess the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is notoriously inaccurate, and determination of the true GFR, such as using inulin or iohexol, is laborious and not feasible in daily practice. More...02 Mar 2020
