A new blood test can identify which individuals of African ancestry carrying high-risk APOL1 gene variants are most likely to develop kidney failure, years before clinical disease becomes apparent.
Early detection of kidney disease is now possible with a simple blood test, as a protein-based risk score can predict kidney ...
Blood test reports often feel like a maze of unfamiliar terms. But, two markers hold a lot of meaning: uric acid and creatinine. They sit in the same report, often under the kidney panel, so it is ...
A major global study suggests that a hidden mismatch between two common blood tests could quietly signal serious trouble ahead. When results from creatinine and cystatin C—two markers used to assess ...
Researchers found that X-rays of the kidneys using gold nanoparticles as a contrast agent might be more accurate in detecting kidney disease than standard laboratory blood tests. In a study published ...
Sanskruti Lakhotia from RMIT's Sir Ian Potter NanoBioSensing Facility holds a bottle of the nanoparticle formula being used to develop Nexsen's kidney diagnostic tests. A simple blood test could ...
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...
