Elevated Lipoprotein(a) Mediates Risk of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in adults, with a prevalence between 0.5% and 2%. Longer life span and higher prevalence of AF risk factors are projected to further increase the global prevalence of AF. More...27 Apr 2022

Urine Testing Differentiates Glomerular from Tubulointerstitial Diseases on Kidney Biopsy
Histological examination of kidney biopsy tissue can help differentiate between glomerular and tubulointerstitial diseases, as well as differentiate between their underlying etiologies and subtypes. More...22 Apr 2022

Lipidomics Approach Developed to Predict Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes
Current detection of cardiovascular disease and diabetes relies heavily on factors such as patient history, sex, age, body mass index, as well as blood panels measuring blood glucose and lipid metabolites, such as high- and low-density cholesterol and triglycerides. More...18 Apr 2022

Sex Hormones Influence HbA1c Levels in Non-Diabetic Population
Sex hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and androgens, are synthesized by the human gonads and adrenal cortex. Their main role is to promote development of the reproductive system and maintain secondary sexual characteristics. More...15 Apr 2022


Urine Sediment Findings in Patients With COVID-19-Associated Renal Injuries
Patients with COVID-19 can suffer from renal complications, especially acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a frequent complication in patients with critically severe COVID-19, and a meta-analysis report has shown that the average incidence of AKI was 11% among all subjects with COVID-19 and 23% among critically ill patients.
