Urinary cystatin C has been reported to be a good marker for tubular damage and acute kidney injury. The aim of this study was to develop a high throughput assay for the quantification of urine cystatin C.Antigen-excess, imprecision, interference, linearity, recovery, sample stability and reference values were evaluated on Cobas c501.The assay was linear over the dynamic range of the study (R ...
Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an inflammatory molecule that has been reported to be a promising early biomarker for subsequent preeclampsia. The levels of PTX3 vary during pregnancy and it is thus a need to establish reference intervals during normal pregnancy. Repeated blood samples were collected from 52 healthy pregnant females.
