AKI Biomarker Test Assesses Risk of Kidney Damage in Critically Ill Patients

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a biomarker that rises rapidly in response to kidney injury, preceding changes in creatinine by as much as two to three days. By identifying patients at risk of AKI early, clinicians can take more appropriate action to manage fluid levels, avoid nephrotoxic agents, and potentially prevent permanent kidney damage. More...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia Patients With ACD Have Elevated Lipoprotein(a)

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol), in the blood and early cardiovascular disease. More...

Circulating Angiogenic Factor Levels Predict Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

Preeclampsia is the most common hypertensive disorder associated with pregnancy. The severe form of the disease can lead to dangerously high blood pressure, organ failure, vision loss or even stroke. It affects approximately 5% of pregnant women and is a leading cause of maternal and fetal death and serious illness. More...

Urine Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Predicts Acute Kidney Injury

Despite the increasing heterogeneity of etiology, making a definitive and timely diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains challenging. Currently, the diagnosis of AKI is still based on elevated serum creatinine concentration or decreased urinary excretion. However, increased serum creatinine and decreased urine volume usually occur 48 hours after renal injury. More...

New Blood Cholesterol Testing System Is Cheaper, More Efficient, and Faster

Scientists have developed a new sensor device for determining cholesterol levels in the blood. The system does not use protein compounds, namely enzymes. Chemists replaced them with an inorganic analogue - copper chloride. This allowed to make the process of creating cholesterol meters cheaper, to make blood testing easier, faster and more accessible.

New Analyzer Monitors Blood Ammonium Levels at POC to Facilitate Quick Medical Decisions

Researchers have developed an analyzer that monitors the level of ammonium in the patient’s blood using a decentralized method at the POC, instead of sending blood samples to be analyzed in hospital laboratories, where traditional equipment is used. More...

Urine Bicarbonate Test Offers Safe Quantification of CFTR Function in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

A study of patients with cystic fibrosis has found that challenged urine bicarbonate excretion may offer a new, simple, and safe quantification of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function and the extent of its pharmacologic improvement. More...
