Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the urgent need for reliable biomarkers in colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis, highlighting limitations in current methods and the potential for novel, non-invasive solutions.
- Using advanced genomic and proteomic technologies, researchers identified five promising biomarkers: INHBA, MMP7, PSAT1, SLC7A5, and TGFBI, which showed significantly higher expression levels in CRC patients compared to healthy controls.
- The biomarkers demonstrated strong diagnostic accuracy, with AUC values between 0.8361 and 0.9869, suggesting they could greatly improve early detection and precision in CRC diagnostic practices.
Background: Microalbuminuria and obesity markers are known risk factors for cardiovascular or renal disease. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of microalbuminuria according to body mass index (BMI) and abdominal obesity criteria.
Methods: The study subjects included 3,979 individuals aged 30 years or older who did not have diabetes, hypertension, renal failure, or overt proteinuria, from among those who participated in The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2013, a cross-sectional, nationally representative, stratified survey.
