What are the 10 established biomarkers

[CuriousCat]

Hey everyone! I'm new to this forum and I have a question that I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me out with. I'm curious to know what the 10 established biomarkers are. Can anyone provide me with some information and advice on this topic? I'd really appreciate it.

Biomarkers

Biomarkers are measurable biological characteristics that can be used to identify a person or assess their health. They can be used to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease, or to monitor the progression or response to treatment. There are many established biomarkers, but here are 10 of the most commonly used:

1. C-reactive protein (CRP)

CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. It is often used as a marker for inflammation and is often used to diagnose conditions such as heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.

2. Red Blood Cell Count (RBCC)

RBCC is used to determine the number of red blood cells in a person's body. It is often used to diagnose anemia, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for anemia.

3. White Blood Cell Count (WBCC)

WBCC is used to determine the number of white blood cells in a person's body. It is often used to diagnose infections and immune system disorders, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for such conditions.

4. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland in men. It is often used to diagnose prostate cancer, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for prostate cancer.

5. Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C)

HbA1C is a measure of average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months. It is often used to diagnose and manage diabetes, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for diabetes.

6. Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a))

Lp(a) is a lipoprotein found in the blood. It is often used to diagnose and manage cardiovascular disease, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for cardiovascular disease.

7. Homocysteine

Homocysteine is an amino acid found in the blood. It is often used to diagnose and manage cardiovascular disease, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for cardiovascular disease.

8. Ferritin

Ferritin is a protein found in the blood that stores iron. It is often used to diagnose and manage anemia, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for anemia.

9. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It is often used to diagnose and manage thyroid disorders, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for thyroid disorders.

10. Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a vitamin found in the body. It is often used to diagnose and manage vitamin D deficiencies, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for vitamin D deficiencies.

Biomarkers are molecules, genes, or other biological indicators that can be used to detect or measure a particular biological state or process. The 10 established biomarkers are: 1) C-reactive protein (CRP); 2) Homocysteine; 3) Lipoprotein (a); 4) Fibrinogen; 5) Glycated hemoglobin; 6) Creatinine; 7) Thyroid-stimulating hormone; 8) Prostate-specific antigen; 9) Apolipoprotein B; and 10) Ferritin. These biomarkers are used to help diagnose and monitor diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancers. They can also provide insight into the effectiveness of treatments and can be used to predict prognosis.

Biomarkers are measurable biological indicators that can be used to assess the state of an individual’s health and aid in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of diseases. The 10 established biomarkers are:

1. Serum creatinine: This is one of the most commonly used biomarkers for kidney function. It measures the amount of creatinine, a waste product produced by the body, in the blood.

2. C-reactive protein (CRP): This biomarker is used to detect inflammation in the body. It is a common marker for cardiovascular disease risk.

3. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA): This biomarker is used to detect prostate cancer. High levels of PSA can be an indicator of the presence of cancer.

4. Hemoglobin A1c: This biomarker is used to test for diabetes. It measures the amount of glucose that is bound to hemoglobin in the blood.

5. Albumin: This is a protein that is found in the blood and is used to measure liver function. Low levels of albumin can indicate liver damage.

6. Cholesterol: Cholesterol is a lipid that is used to measure heart health. High levels of cholesterol can be an indicator of an increased risk of heart disease.

7. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): This biomarker is used to measure thyroid function. Abnormal levels of TSH can indicate thyroid disorders.

8. Vitamin D: This biomarker is used to measure vitamin D levels in the body. Low levels of Vitamin D can indicate a deficiency.

9. Folate: This biomarker is used to measure folate levels in the body. Low levels of folate can indicate a deficiency.

10. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): This biomarker is used to detect the presence of the hepatitis B virus in the body. Positive results can indicate an active infection.

Biomarkers are important tools for medical research, diagnosis, and patient care. They are measurable indicators of a biological process, disease, or response to treatment. The 10 most commonly established biomarkers include C-reactive protein, cholesterol, albumin, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, creatinine, glucose, hemoglobin A1C, and white blood cell count. These biomarkers are used to assess overall health, predict disease risk, diagnosis, and monitor treatments. They are also used to measure the body’s response to different treatments, which can help physicians determine the most effective course of action. In addition to these established biomarkers, new biomarkers are continually being discovered and studied for their potential use in medical research and patient care.

Biomarkers refer to measurable, objective indicators of a biological state or condition. Commonly used biomarkers include enzymes, metabolites, hormones, proteins, and genetic material. Examples of established biomarkers include blood glucose levels, cholesterol, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Other markers include tumor markers, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and inflammation markers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6).
