Biochemical Abnormalities Among Celiac Disease Patients Referred for Antibody Testing

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disease occurring in all age groups and affecting approximately 1% of the population, although many cases of CD remain undiagnosed. This condition is caused by an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals triggered by the ingestion of gluten proteins from wheat, rye and barley. More...

NT-proBNP Underestimates Heart Failure Risk for Certain Patients

The N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP) concentration could mean drastically different absolute risks of heart failure (HF) for different demographics, according to a cohort study suggesting the importance of sex and race in interpreting risk for people free of HF at baseline. More...
