High-Sensitivity CRP Testing Underutilized
Heart attack, stroke, and atherothrombotic cardiovascular deaths are disorders characterized by chronic hyperlipidemia in the setting of a persistent pro-inflammatory response, often exacerbated by hypertension and behavioral factors such as smoking. More...29 Jan 2019
Retina Protein Antibodies Used As Kidney Cancer Marker
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the second-most common uronephrological cancer. In the absence of specific symptoms, early diagnosis of RCC is challenging. Monitoring of the aberrant expression of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and related autoantibody response is considered as a novel approach of RCC diagnostics. More...28 Jan 2019
Biochemical Hypoglycemia Associated with Risk of Hypoglycemia
To optimize diabetes management, it is essential to have assessments of both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is primarily a measure of hyperglycemia, but it provides no indication of the frequency or severity of hypoglycemia. More...24 Jan 2019
Calprotectin Independently Predicts Relapse in Treated RA
Calprotectin is a biomarker of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and predicts relapse in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Higher drug trough serum levels are associated with a good response in patients treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi). More...14 Jan 2019
Urinary Biomarkers Associated with Kidney Disease Risk Factors
The improved life expectancy among treated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients has been tempered by the excess burden of age-related non-infectious co-morbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). More...14 Jan 2019
Test Detects Protein Associated with Alzheimer’s and CTE
An ultrasensitive test has been developed that detects a corrupted protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This advance could lead to early diagnosis of these conditions and how they originate. More...09 Jan 2019
