Systems and methods for detection of chemtiluminescent reactions

Methods, devices and kit for analyzing a sample comprising 1,5-anhydroglucitol and a first analyte via one or more chemiluminescent reactions. Certain embodiments include measuring a first light response resulting from a first chemiluminescent reaction and measuring a second light response resulting from a second chemiluminescent reaction. Certain embodiments also include comparing the first light response to the second light response to determine a ratio of 1,5-anhydroglucitol and the first analyte.

PROTOCOL TO MINIMIZE CALCINEURIN INHIBITOR NEPHROTOXICITY

Provided herein are methods of employing pharmacodynamics regimens to maximize effectiveness of voclosporin in treatment of proteinuric kidney diseases while minimizing undesirable side effects, such as but not limited to calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity. Also provided are methods of assessments of renal functions and/or conditions, and corresponding protocols to modify, stop, restore and/or re-initiate voclosporin dosing and administrations to maximize effectiveness of voclosporin in treatment of proteinuric kidney diseases while minimizing undesirable side effects.

Marker for statin treatment stratification in heart failure

The present disclosure is directed to a method of identifying a patient having heart failure as likely to respond to a therapy with a statin. The method is based on measuring the level of at least one marker selected from GDF-15 (Growth Differentiation Factor 15), Urea, SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin), Uric acid, PLGF (Placental Growth Factor), IL-6 (Interleukin-6), Transferrin, a cardiac Troponin, sFlt-1 (Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1), Prealbumin, Ferritin, Osteopontin, sST2 (soluble ST2), and hsCRP (high sensitivity C-reactive protein) in a sample from a patient. Further envisaged is a method of predicting the risk of a patient to suffer from death or hospitalization, wherein the patient has heart failure and undergoes a therapy with a statin. The method is also based on the measurement of the level of at least one of the aforementioned markers.

MASS SPECTROMETRIC ANALYSIS OF BIOMARKERS

The present invention relates to methods for detecting and/or measuring alanine transaminase (ALT) activity, aspartate transaminase (AST) activity, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, glucose levels, creatinine levels, urea levels, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels, and/or symmetrical dimethylarginine (SDMA) levels in a sample. The method allows all of the activities and analytes, or any combination of activities and analytes, to be measured in a single assay.
