Reducing the impact of multiple sclerosis
Recently I heard on BBC Radio 4 a fascinating interview of Professor George Jelineck by Caroline Quentin, both of whom suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS). MS, as no doubt you know, is a condition caused by the demyelination of neurons as the result of attack by the body’s own Th1 cells, usually resulting in progressive […]
Biomarkers for improving the diagnosis of acute interstitial nephritis
Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) may be the cause of more than 15 % of instances of acute loss of kidney function. Diagnosed early, it can often be successfully treated; however, lack of obvious symptoms means it can be easily missed. Left untreated, AIN can progress to chronic kidney disease. Currently, clinical diagnosis is confirmed by […]
Could H-FABP have potential benefit in diagnostics beyond cardiac health problems?
The rising incidence of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) comes at a price. Patients tend to survive intensive care (ICU) but will be discharged with various degrees of chronic kidney disease (CKD), placing an increasing strain on the healthcare system. At present, the cost to the NHS is estimated to be between £434 and £620 million […]
LITERATURE REVIEW: Renal disease
Urinary kidney injury molecule-1 in renal diseaseMoresco RN, Bochi GV, Stein CS, De Carvalho JAM, Cembranel BM, Bollick YS. Clin Chim Acta 2018; 487: 15–21 Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), a type l transmembrane glycoprotein, is recognized as a potential biomarker for detection of tubular injury in the main renal diseases. Urinary KIM-1 increases rapidly upon […]
New microfluidics device can detect cancer cells in blood
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Queensland University of Technology of Australia have developed a device that can isolate individual cancer cells from patient blood samples. The microfluidic device works by separating the various cell types found in blood by their size. The device may one day enable rapid, cheap liquid biopsies […]
Chest pain management: high-sensitivity cardiac troponin supports rapid assessment of non-acute myocardial infarction patients
The introduction of cardiac troponin (cTn) assays has helped improve the triage of chest-pain patients. Evolution from relatively insensitive cTn assays to high-sensitivity assays has necessitated evolving testing approaches to optimize clinical utility. The latest generation (high-sensitivity cTn) support rapid diagnostic protocols aiding in the earlier discharge of a significant percentage of non-AMI patients, as […]
