High HbA1c Levels Do Not Always Lead to Diabetes
Prediabetes is an asymptomatic condition preceding type 2 diabetes. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, which is defined as a blood glucose level that is higher than normal but below the level for a clinical diagnosis of diabetes. More...25 Jul 2019
Collagen Biomarkers Clarify Prognosis of Diabetic Renal Complications
Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy. More...24 Jul 2019
Antibody Tests Recommended for Parasitic Infection Diagnosis
Pleural parasitic infestation (PPI) is a disease prevalent in certain parts of the world and it is frequently misdiagnosed due to its lack of standardized diagnostic criteria. The clinical manifestations are non-specific and many patients are initially treated for tuberculosis or misdiagnosed as lung cancer. More...16 Jul 2019
Dengue Infection Complicated by Hyperinflammatory Condition
The global incidence of dengue infection has grown dramatically and been estimated to 390 million infections yearly. This mosquito-borne virus infection occasionally develops into a potentially lethal state called severe dengue (SD). More...11 Jul 2019
Confirmation Testing for Primary Hyperaldosteronism Remains Essential
Primary aldosteronism, also known as primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) or Conn's syndrome, refers to the excess production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands, resulting in low renin levels. This abnormality is caused by hyperplasia or tumors. More...10 Jul 2019
