Calprotectin and CRP as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in patients with chronic kidney disease: a follow-up study at 5 and 10 years
(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, ... -
Diagnosing empty iron stores in women: unbound iron binding capacity (UIBC) versus soluble transferrin receptor (sTFR)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Unbound iron binding capacity (UIBC) is more accurate than total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and percent transferrin saturation in diagnosing empty iron stores. It is unknown whether UIBC is more or less accurate than ... -
New reference intervals for cortisol, cortisol binding globulin and free cortisol index in women using ethinyl estradiol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Healthy women using contraceptives containing a low dose of an estrogen may have a higher serum concentration of cortisol (s-cortisol) and cortisol binding globulin (s-CBG) than the commonly used upper reference limits. ... -
Testing the limits: the diagnostic accuracy of reference change values
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Reference change values (RCVs) are used by the physician to judge whether a change in analyte concentration from one sample to the next may represent a clinically significant change. Published RCVs are usually given as ... -
Using blood calprotectin as a measure of blood neutrophils
(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 ...
