Biomarkers are any measurable biochemical characteristics of an organism that reflect a particular physiological state. Biomarkers can take many different forms including particular proteins or peptides antibodies cell types metabolites hormones enzyme levels compounds related to genomics etc. A biomarker can also be a substance introduced into a patient to assess the internal organ systems role.
In medicine biomarkers considered as compounds isolated from serum urine or other fluids can be used as an indicator of the presence or severity of a particular disease state. The use of biomarkers is becoming a fundamental practice in medicine Biomarker research involves a significantly greater scope of laboratory medicine.
This monograph presents information on several types of biomarkers for general pathologies (preeclampsia metabolic syndrome iron metabolism bone disease liver function renal function) cardiovascular pathology (including atrial fibrillation peripheral artery disease thrombotic disorders) and sepsis. Additional information on endocrine and salivary biomarkers is also presented.
New Trends in Biomarkers and Diseases: An Overview is an ideal reference for medical students pathology trainees and clinical researchers seeking information on biomarkers in medicine.
