Simple Test of Kidney Function Needs More Consideration
Kidney disease in the USA and other parts of the world is both common and under-diagnosed, but new studies suggest that paying close attention to results of a simple blood test can help predict the likelihood that patients will develop kidney failure. More...29 Dec 2015
Prostate Cancer Screening Improved by Repeating Abnormal Tests
For more than 20 years, the prostate-specific antigen test has been used to help screen for prostate cancer, but in recent years, some task forces have called for this blood test to be abandoned because it leads to many unnecessary biopsies. More...29 Dec 2015
Low Zinc May Indicate Potential Breast-Feeding Problems
A new study provides an important step toward identifying breast-fed infants at risk for severe zinc deficiency. Identifying mothers with abnormally low levels of zinc in breast milk may enable to more quickly determine those more likely to have trouble breast-feeding. More...27 Dec 2015
