Renal Transplantation and Urinary Proteomics

Renal Autotransplantation for Urinary Undiversion

Urinary dh ersion has been performed in the past in many patients for different indications. In many of these patients urine can be undiverted to its natural path (urinary undiversion) using new techniques. The most common type of urinary dhersions are: Ileal condiut, ureterosigmoidostomy, cutaneous ureterostomy and nephrostomy. There have been many different methods reported for urinary undive...

Are Genetic Tests for Atherosclerosis Ready for Routine Clinical Use?

In this review, we lay out 3 areas currently being evaluated for incorporation of genetic information into clinical practice related to atherosclerosis. The first, familial hypercholesterolemia, is the clearest case for utility of genetic testing in diagnosis and potentially guiding treatment. Already in use for confirmatory testing of familial hypercholesterolemia and for cascade screening of ...

Approaching clinical proteomics: current state and future fields of application in fluid proteomics.

The field of clinical proteomics offers opportunities to identify new disease biomarkers in body fluids, cells and tissues. These biomarkers can be used in clinical applications for diagnosis, stratification of patients for specific treatment, or therapy monitoring. New protein array formats and improved spectrometry technologies have brought these analyses to a level with potential for use in ...
