Blood Biomarker Kallikrein-8 Detects Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia. AD starts to damage the brain 20 years or more before any clinical symptoms appear. The currently available biomarker for AD (beta-amyloid (Aβ, A), tau (T), and neurodegeneration (N), (ATN)) are measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). More...10 Jan 2022
Nomograms Including Rapid Antigen Test Detects Primary Bladder Cancer
Urinary bladder cancer (BC) is the tenth most prevalent cancer affecting mainly the elderly and men. The suspicion of BC often arises after the detection of microscopic or macroscopic (gross) hematuria during a patient’s examination. More...04 Jan 2022
Near Normal Aminotransferase Levels Reported in Alcoholic Cirrhosis Patients
Alcoholic cirrhosis affects around 1 in 400 adults in the USA. It is an advanced form of liver disease, which occurs when chronic ethanol use leads to inflammation and cirrhosis or scarring of the liver. Less than 50% of people diagnosed with advanced liver disease due to cirrhosis survive for one year, and so early diagnosis is crucial. More...30 Dec 2021
Serum High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Associated With Pre-Diabetes
Individuals with pre-diabetes are at a higher risk for progression to diabetes and are also known to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Also, pre-diabetes is known to be associated with obesity and an abnormal lipid profile. More...29 Dec 2021
Calprotectin Levels Vary When Measured in Different Matrices for COVID-19
Several risk scores, diagnostic imaging and biomarkers have been evaluated and compared to help predict severe complications and outcome in COVID-19 patients. Nevertheless, early prediction of COVID-19 severity remains difficult, emphasizing the need for additional biomarkers in daily practice. More...28 Dec 2021
D-Serine Clearance Evaluates Precise Measurement of Kidney Function
Evaluation of kidney function is essential in daily clinical practice. The measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) using exogenous inulin has been considered as the gold standard of kidney function, though this procedure is labor intensive, time consuming, and expensive. More...21 Dec 2021
