Cardiac troponin I. A marker with high specificity for cardiac injury.
BACKGROUND Levels of MBCK can be increased in patients with skeletal muscle injury or renal failure in the absence of myocardial injury, causing diagnostic confusion. This study was designed to determine whether measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a myocardial regulatory protein with comparable sensitivity to MBCK, has sufficient specificity to clarify the etiology of MBCK elevations in p...
متن کاملCardiac troponin I: A potent biomarker for myocardial damage assessment following high voltage electric burn
Myocardial infarction (MI) following high voltage electric burn is very rare, and its pathogenesis remains controversial. Electrical burns represent only 4% of all burns. Hence, clinical managements have taken a slow pace in developing. The recent guidelines laid down by the cardiology societies include cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as the gold standard marker for the assessment of myocardial damag...
متن کاملChimeric cardiac troponin I antibodies
most assay manufacturers take additional measures during the assay development. The most frequent procedure involves suppressing the non-specific binding with blocking reagents, which vary from normal mouse IgG to more refined formulations. Whilst in most cases these measures are adequate, they do result in additional costs in terms of both material and labor. The effect of HAMA can also be sup...
متن کاملCardiac troponin-I accurately predicts myocardial injury in renal failure.
BACKGROUND Non-specific elevations of creatine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin-T may be seen in renal failure, confusing the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) has been shown to be specific for myocardial damage in several disease states, but has not been prospectively evaluated in the setting of renal failure. METHODS This prospective case series ev...
متن کاملSertraline alters level of adenosine deaminase activity, oxidative stress markers and cardiac biomarkers (homocysteine cardiac troponin I) in rats
The aim of this study is whether oxidative stress markers, homocysteine (Hcy), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) alter following administration of different doses of sertraline. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups. Sertraline at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg / kg / day) were administered to three groups through gastric gavage for 90 days. The ...
