Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Sep 1. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0678. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The increasing use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (t-mAbs) has improved cancer and autoimmune disorder treatment. These therapeutics can interfere with serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and immunofixation (IF), potentially leading to the appearance of monoclonal bands that may be misinterpreted as … Read more
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Sep 1. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0747. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Our previous study revealed a correlation between fecal leukocyte esterase and fecal calprotectin levels. This study assessed the predictive value of fecal leukocyte esterase compared with fecal calprotectin and C-reactive protein of inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS: Patients with inflammatory bowel … Read more

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Dysregulation of brain leptin signaling contributes to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology, but plasma leptin may not accurately reflect central nervous system activity. This study examined the correlation between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leptin levels and their relationship with beta-amyloid … Read more

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Jun 17. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0427. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Cardiac troponins (cTn) are used to detect and quantify acute cardiomyocyte injury. In patients presenting with symptoms that could indicate myocarditis, elevated cTn concentrations typically mandate cardiac catheterization and heart muscle biopsy or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Accordingly, increased … Read more
