Simple Saliva Test May Help Diagnose Kidney Disease
A preliminary study suggests that a dipstick test for salivary urea nitrogen could be accurate for diagnosing kidney disease and may help predict patients' risk of early death. The test would be especially helpful in developing countries where simple and inexpensive tools for diagnosing kidney disease are most needed. More...29 Nov 2016
Mild-to-Moderate Hypertriglyceridemia Leads to Acute Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is very painful and it may lead to fatalities and until now, medical science has connected the risk of developing this illness to gallstone, a high intake of alcohol and very high concentrations of blood fats or triglycerides. More...23 Nov 2016
Lipid Profiles Investigated for Coronary Heart Disease Patients
Lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) excess is an independent risk factor of coronary artery disease (CAD) and has shown wide ethnic variations and lipid parameters used in the assessment and management of risk factors for CAD may not reflect accurately the disease or its severity. More...23 Nov 2016
Fecal Fat Points to Early Presence of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, and therefore more accessible screening tests are urgently needed to identify early-stage lesions. Colonoscopy, for example, is a known lifesaver but is costly and unappealing to many people who might otherwise undergo testing. More...11 Nov 2016
