Spot Urine Sample Evaluated for Renal Potassium Loss

Hypokalemia is characterized by low serum potassium concentrations. Severe hypokalemia can be life threatening, and immediate potassium replacement is often required to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. More...

Incretin Hormone Levels Linked to Arteriosclerosis

While existing evidence supports beneficial cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), emerging studies suggest that glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and/or signaling via the GIP receptor may have untoward cardiovascular effects. More...

Biomarker Detects Early Alzheimer’s Disease

In Alzheimer disease (AD), abnormal metabolism of amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau leads to accumulation of extracellular plaques formed by misfolded Aβ and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles containing phosphorylated tau (P-tau) protein. More...

Elevated Fructosamine Levels Associated with Increased PJI Risk

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most serious complication that lowers the quality of patients’ life by elevating the patients’ burden of cost and affecting the outcome of total joint arthroplasty. More...

Biomarkers Predict Whether RA Patients Will Respond to DMARDs

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by unremitting joint inflammation that results in bone and cartilage destruction and a decreased quality of life. RA may arise from a decreased ability of the host immune response to engage resolution programmes that prevent the precipitation of acute inflammation into chronicity. More...

Breath Ammonia Biomarker Predicts Kidney Function in CKD Patients

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a type of kidney disease in which there is gradual loss of kidney function over a period of months to years. Initially there are generally no symptoms; later, symptoms may include leg swelling, feeling tired, vomiting, loss of appetite, and confusion. More...

Metabolomics Profiles Associated with Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), like diabetic neuropathy and nephropathy, is a common complication of diabetes. It is the leading cause of loss of vision in diabetic patients. Long-standing disease, along with hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and genetic factors, is a major risk factor of diabetes retinopathy. More...
