Blood Metabolites May Serve as Kidney Function Indicators
A nontargeted metabolomics approach in which gas and liquid chromatography were coupled to mass spectrometry was used to quantify 493 small molecules in human serum and relate them to changes in kidney function due to chronic kidney disease. More...19 Oct 2015


Quick Test Minimizes Unnecessary Primary Care Antibiotic Prescribing
C-reactive protein is a biomarker in blood which indicates the presence of inflammation, and the amount of CRP in the body gives an indication of the severity of an infection. Low levels of CRP are indicative of viral or self-limiting bacterial infections, and high levels indicate serious infection. More...19 Oct 2015
