Circulating uromodulin may help identify kidney dysfunction in sickle cell disease while conventional kidney markers remain within reference range, as demonstrated in a recent collaborative study conducted with Euroimmun, University Hospital Essen, Germany and other academic and clinical partners. A diagnostic challenge Sickle cell nephropathy is a major cause of illness and early death […]
Both experienced the journey of integrating IDS structures into Euroimmun firsthand: Anke Behne-Wachholz, Head of Customer Technical Operations, and Emma Storey, lead for the ChLIA Technical Services team, which consists of colleagues from both Euroimmun and IDS and is dedicated to supporting customers with questions and issues related to ChLIA automation. “Looking back on the
A current multicentre study shows that anti-nephrin autoantibodies can be a reliable biomarker for idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, which occurs in diseases such as minimal change disease (MCD). These antibodies were much more frequent in patients with the respective diseases than in those with other kidney diseases or in healthy persons. The antibody level also correlates
A collaborative study with Euroimmun, published recently in the journal Brain, has identified septin multimer as a novel target of autoimmunity in patients with severe motor neuropathy. The autoantibodies may represent a new biomarker for a rare but clinically significant disease subgroup. What are septins? Septins are a family of ubiquitously expressed cytoskeletal proteins
A new study from Euroimmun, published in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, demonstrates how customised testing for different dengue serological markers can improve diagnostic accuracy across different stages of infection. Diagnostic challenges Accurate diagnosis of dengue virus (DENV) infection is challenging due to its non-specific early symptoms and potential for rapid clinical deterioration. While RT-PCR is
