During heart failure, the heart makes two proteins, called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-BNP (NT-proBNP). Levels of both in the blood go up when heart failure gets worse and go down when it gets better.
Homocysteine, often shortened to HCY, is a thiol containing amino acid produced by the intracellular demethylation of methionine. Excess HCY in the bloodstream may cause injuries to arterial vessels due to its irritant nature and result in inflammation and plaque formation, which may eventually cause a blockage of blood flow to the heart.
ST2 is a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family biomarker and circulating soluble ST2 concentrations are believed to reflect cardiovascular stress and fibrosis. The studies have demonstrated soluble ST2 to be a strong predictor of cardiovascular outcomes in both chronic and acute heart failure. It is a new biomarker that meets all required criteria for a useful biomarker.
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is an enzyme that plays a role in the inflammation of blood vessels and is thought to help promote atherosclerosis. Biotime rapid quantitative test kit measures the amount or activity of Lp-PLA2 in the human blood.
Biotime 2 in 1 test kit can help the operator to distinguish the bacterial infection and viral infection, and improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of infectious diseases.
The C-reactive protein(CRP) is synthesized by the liver in response to interleukin-6 and is well known as one of the classical acute-phase reactants. It is used as a marker of inflammation and cardiovascular diseases(C-VD). Biotime CRP test includes hs-CRP and normal CRP test parameters which has wider test range.
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a major acute phase protein in human beings, and dogs. The level of SAA proteins in blood increases within just a few hours following the onset of various inflammatory stimuli. These include infection, trauma and surgery
PCT(Procalcitonin) is a peptide precursor of the hormone calcitonin. Measurement of PCT can be used as an authoritative marker for diagnosis and stratification of sepsis.
