The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect one or more of C-C motif chemokine 16, C-C motif chemokine 14, and Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor UFO as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker assays in renal injuries.

Methods and compositions for diagnosis and prognosis of renal injury and renal failure

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect one or more of Follistatin-related protein 3, Basigin, Cathepsin B, and Tenascin as diagnostic and prognostic bio-marker assays in renal injuries.

Follistatin-related protein 3 for diagnosis and prognosis of renal injury and renal failure

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect one or more of Metalloproteinase inhibitor 1, Metalloproteinase inhibitor 2, Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4, C&#x2014;C motif chemokine 15, C&#x2014;C motif chemokine 18, C&#x2014;C motif chemokine 23, and/or, C&#x2014;C motif chemokine 24 as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker assays in renal injuries.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from or suspected of having a renal injury. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect one or more of Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2, Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3, Insulinlike growth factor-binding protein 4, and Insulin like growth factor-binding protein 6 as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker assays in renal injuries.

Identification and use of proteins fluorescently labeled and that undergo a change in fluorescence index upon binding bilirubin are described. Probes are disclosed which are labeled at a cysteine or lysine residue and also probes labeled at both cysteine and lysine with two different fluorophores. These probes are useful for determination of unbound bilirubin levels in a fluid sample.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in appendicitis patients and in patients at risk for appendicitis. In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect one or more biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker assays in such patients.

Methods and compositions for diagnosis and prognosis of appendicitis and differentiation of causes of abdominal pain

A method for high throughput discovery of proteins fluorescently labeled at a cysteine residue and that undergo a change in fluorescence ratio at 2 wavelengths upon binding an unbound analyte is described. Probes are disclosed which are labeled at a cysteine residue and also probes labeled at both cysteine and lysine with two different fluorophores. These probes are useful for characterization and measurement of hydrophobic species in a fluid sample, particularly characterization and measurement of levels of unbound free fatty acids. A profile of unbound free fatty acids can be determined for an individual which can be used to determine the individual's relative risk for disease.

Development and use of cysteine-labeled fluorescent probes of unbound analytes

Methods of determining levels of unbound metabolites are disclosed. Probes derived from fatty acid binding protein muteins are described that bind preferentially to a number of unbound metabolites including oleate, stearate, linoleate, palmitate, arachidonate and unconjugated bilirubin. A profile for a patient is determined using one or more of the described probes. The profile is useful in diagnosis of disease, particularly myocardial infarction, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), diabetes, stroke, sepsis and neonatal jaundice. The responses of multiple probes to a test sample are used to classify the degree of acute coronary syndrome by comparison to multi-probe profiles generated from unstable angina, non ST elevation myocardial infarction, and ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Use of probes for unbound metabolites

A method for high throughput screening of probes is described. These probes are useful for characterization and measurement of unbound metabolites in a fluid sample, particularly characterization and measurement of levels of unbound free fatty acids. By practice of the disclosed invention, a profile of unbound metabolites can be determined for an individual which can be used to determine the individual's relative risk for disease such as stroke, cardiac disease and cancer.
