Calprotectin and CRP as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in patients with chronic kidney disease: a follow-up study at 5 and 10 years
Løfblad, Lena; Hov, Gunhild Garmo; Åsberg, Arne; Videm, Vibeke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and low-grade inflammation are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Calprotectin, a protein mainly secreted by activated neutrophils during inflammatory conditions, ... -
Circulating calprotectin: from measurement to clinical application - studies of preanalytical, analytical, and cardiovascular biomarker performance
Løfblad, Lena (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:161, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Norsk sammendrag Hjerte-karsykdom er en svært vanlig årsak til sykdom og tidlig død på verdensbasis og skyldes i hovedsak åreforkalkning (aterosklerose) som oppstår pga. fettavleiringer og inflammasjon i åreveggene. ... -
Inflammatory markers and risk of cardiovascular mortality in relation to diabetes status in the HUNT study
Løfblad, Lena; Hov, Gunhild Garmo; Åsberg, Arne; Videm, Vibeke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Inflammatory markers have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in general populations. We assessed whether these associations differ by diabetes status. From a population-based cohort study ... -
Interferenser i biokjemiske analyser forårsaket av MR- og CT-kontrastmidler
Myrvang, Sunniva Agnete Sivertsen; Grønli, Oda Spillum (Bachelor thesis, 2022)Kontrastmidler injiseres ofte i forkant av MR- og CT-undersøkelser, med hensikt å styrke kontrasten i vevet. Hvorvidt kontrastmidler kan skape interferens i ulike analysemetoder har i lang tid blitt diskutert, spesielt med ... -
Using blood calprotectin as a measure of blood neutrophils
Åsberg, Arne; Løfblad, Lena; Felic, Amela; Aune, Marthe Wedø; Hov, Gunhild Garmo; Fagerli, Unn-Merete (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Presently, bed-side or at home quantification of neutrophils in blood (b-neutrophils) is not practical, because cytometric methods are too expensive and technically demanding. We have explored whether calprotectin concentration ...
