Methods and devices for diagnosing, monitoring, or determining obstructive uropathy or an associated disorder in a mammal are described. In particular, methods and devices for diagnosing, monitoring, or determining obstructive uropathy or an associated disorder using measured concentrations of a combination of three or more analytes in a test sample taken from the mammal are described.

Methods and devices for detecting obstructive uropathy and associated disorders

The invention relates to methods of characterizing autoimmune diseases by detecting and measuring at least one analyte using multiplexed assay systems. According to one embodiment, a target is detected and measured by different bead sets having different reactants. According to another approach the ratio of self-antigen to autoantibody is measured by exposing a sample suspected of containing self-antigen and autoantibody to a bead set associated with monoclonal antibody specific for the self-antigen and a bead set associated with the self-antigen.
