Patent number: 11874282Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for diagnosing preeclampsia or a preeclampsia-related condition in a pregnant subject. The method is based on the measurement of the amount of the biomarker IGFBP-7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) in a sample from the subject and on the comparison of the measured amount to a reference. Also disclosed are methods for assessing the severity of preeclampsia or a preeclampsia-related condition and methods for monitoring a preeclampsia or a preeclampsia-related condition in a pregnant subject. The present disclosure further relates to the use of the biomarker IGFBP-7 or of an agent that specifically binds to IGFBP-7 in a sample from a pregnant subject for diagnosing, for monitoring or for assessing the severity of preeclampsia or a preeclampsia-related condition. Finally, the present disclosure relates to a device or kit adapted to carry out the method of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Martin Hund, Edelgard Anna Kaiser, Ursula-Henrike Wienhues-Thelen, Dirk Block, Johann Karl

Patent number: 11397187Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for predicting the risk of a patient to suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI) during or after a surgical procedure or after administration of a contrast medium. The method is based on the determination of the level of the biomarker IGFBP7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) in a body fluid sample obtained from the patient prior to the surgical procedure or prior to the administration of a contrast medium. Further, the present disclosure describes a method for predicting the risk of a patient to suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI) based on the determination of the amount of the biomarker IGFBP7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) and Cystatin C in a body fluid sample obtained from the patient. The present disclosure further encompasses kits and devices adapted to carry out the methods of the disclosed methods.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2018Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Andrea Horsch, Birgit Klapperich, Dirk Block, Alfred Engel, Johann Karl, Rosemarie Kientsch-Engel, Ekaterina Manuilova, Christina Rabe, Sandra Rutz, Monika Soukupova, Ursula-Henrike Wienhues-Thelen, Peter Kastner, Edelgard Anna Kaiser
