Urine Test Detects River Blindness Filarial Worm

River blindness is a filarial disease, like elephantiasis, and occurs when the parasitic worm Onchocerca volvulus takes up residence in the skin. Adult worms deposit microfilaria at an alarming rate, which are ultimately re-spread by blackfly bites. More...

Biomarker Low Predictive Power Validated for eGFR Decline

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of the function of the kidneys. This test measures the level of creatinine in the blood and uses the result in a formula to calculate a number that reflects how well the kidneys are functioning, called the estimated GFR or eGFR. More...
