متن کاملMargaret McCartney: Why less confidence may be a good thing.
In any of the exams I’ve ever sat I’ve never been asked, “What don’t we know?” Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is in the news. The papers say that GPs aren’t prescribing it enough. 2 Further, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has said that its new advice on menopause is “to help GPs and other healthcare professionals to be more confident in prescribing HRT and women more c...
متن کاملEstimated GFR and risk of death--is cystatin C useful?
Current estimates suggest that as many as one in six persons in North America have chronic kidney disease,1 a condition that may worsen over time and signal the need for continuous monitoring. Knowing which patient with chronic kidney disease is at risk for end-stage kidney disease or death could tell us who needs intensive monitoring or intervention. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the c...
متن کاملClinical Trials Have Gone Global: Is This a Good Thing?
Clinical trials are needed globally to reduce disease burdens by helping developing safe and effective new therapies and vaccines. These solutions may be for noncommunicable diseases like cancer and diabetes, or, as is especially needed in the poorest regions of the world, infectious disease. Developing countries are underrepresented in research due to lack of commercial viability and trained r...
متن کاملSerum cystatin C measured by automated immunoassay: a more sensitive marker of changes in GFR than serum creatinine.
Serum cystatin C has been suggested as a new marker of GFR. For the introduction of this marker into clinical use a rapid and automated method is required. We have developed and validated an assay for serum cystatin C using latex particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetry. Intra- and inter-assay precision were < 3% and < 5% across the assay range. Analytical recovery was 93 +/- 3.8% and no lack of pa...
