  • MEANS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING HEART FAILURE ON THE BASIS OF CHOLESTEROL PARAMETERS, SPHINGOMYELINS AND/OR TRIACYLGLYCEROLS
    Publication number: 20170212135
    Abstract: The present invention relates to diagnostic means and methods for heart failure. In particular, the invention relates to a method for diagnosing heart failure in a subject suspected to suffer therefrom comprising determining the amount of at least one cholesterol parameter and/or total sphingomyelins and/or triacylglycerols in a sample of the said subject, and comparing the amount(s) determined in step (a) to a reference, whereby it is diagnosed whether the subject suffers from heart failure, or not. Moreover, the invention pertains to a device for diagnosing whether a subject suffers from heart failure, or not, and to the use, in general, of enzymatic detection agents for at least one cholesterol parameter and/or total sphingomyelins and/or triacylglycerols for diagnosing in a sample of a subject whether the said subject suffers from heart failure, or not. Finally, contemplated is a kit for diagnosing heart failure in subject suspected to suffer therefrom.

  • Means and Methods for Determining a Clearance Normalized Amount of a Metabolite Disease Biomarker in a Sample
    Publication number: 20160047829
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a clearance normalized amount of a metabolite disease biomarker in a sample including the steps of (a) determining the amount of the disease biomarker in at least a first type of sample of a subject suspected to suffer from the disease, (b) determining the amount of a kidney function biomarker which correlates with the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the said at least first type of sample, and (c) determining a clearance normalized amount for the metabolite disease biomarker by normalizing the amount determined for the metabolite disease biomarker in step (a) to the amount of the kidney function biomarker determined in step (b). Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for diagnosing a disease in a subject suspected to suffer therefrom and to a device for determining a clearance normalized amount of a metabolite disease biomarker in a sample.
