Since laboratory testing and biomarkers are an integral part in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, Kidney Biomarkers: Clinical Aspects and Laboratory Determination covers currently used biomarkers and markers in development. Laboratories are increasingly more involved in the follow-up confirmatory laboratory testing and this unique volume showcases the collaboration needed to solve diagnostic clinical puzzles between the laboratory and clinician. This volume guides laboratory test selection and interpretation of results in patients. Sources of inaccurate results in measuring kidney biomarkers are discussed along with the possibility of eliminating such interferences. Each chapter is organized with a uniform easy-to-follow format with insightful case examples highlighting the collaboration between clinical laboratorians and clinicians.
TOP FEATURES:
- Categories biomarkers into diagnostic markers, disease follow-up markers, and prognostic biomarkers
- Include case examples to show the collaboration between the clinical laboratorian and clinician
- Discusses the application of kidney biomarkers in clinical practice along with addressing laboratory aspects of kidney biomarker determination
