Biomarker Low Predictive Power Validated for eGFR Decline
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of the function of the kidneys. This test measures the level of creatinine in the blood and uses the result in a formula to calculate a number that reflects how well the kidneys are functioning, called the estimated GFR or eGFR. More...06 Sep 2018
Inflammation Biomarkers Identified as Risk of Polyneuropathy
Polyneuropathy is one of the most common complications in people with diabetes. First symptoms are often pins-and-needles sensations in the feet. Although polyneuropathy is present in about 30% of people with diabetes, it often remains undiagnosed. More...05 Sep 2018
Serum S-100β Elevated in Septic Shock Patients with Delirium
A high prevalence of delirium is observed in sepsis, yet specific markers for this brain dysfunction in sedated patients are still lacking. Cytoplasmic low molecular weight calcium-binding protein, S-100β, is a commonly used nonspecific marker for brain injury. More...30 Aug 2018
Blood Test Identifies Gestational Diabetes Risk in First Trimester
A blood test conducted as early as the 10th week of pregnancy may help identify women at risk for gestational diabetes, a pregnancy-related condition that poses potentially serious health risks for mothers and infants. More...29 Aug 2018
Biomarkers Explored in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes
Well-developed coronary collateral arteries are associated with improved survival in patients with coronary artery disease. A key process in forming new blood vessels is attraction to occluded arteries of monocytes with their subsequent activation as macrophages. More...28 Aug 2018
