Assessing neonatal and paediatric acute kidney injury: current practices and insights from the IFCC C-ETPLM International Laboratory SurveyTim Langon July 8, 2026 at 10:00 am
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Jul 9. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2026-0626. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonatology and paediatrics continues to present challenges to laboratories. Emerging biomarkers are being developed which may offer early detection but haven’t been adopted in current guidelines yet. The aim of this IFCC survey … Read more
A novel comprehensive non-invasive prenatal testing system for the simultaneous detection of single-gene disorders, chromosomal structural rearrangements, and aneuploidyYichen Zhangon July 8, 2026 at 10:00 am
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Jul 9. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-1488. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Invasive prenatal diagnosis is recommended for high-risk pregnancies, but many decline due to potential complications. To date, no non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) simultaneously detects monogenic diseases, balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs), and aneuploidies. We developed a comprehensive NIPT to detect monogenic … Read more
Fish-shaped erythrocytes and pincer cells co-occur in distinct hematological disorders and are associated with anemia severityAnna Lena Lembeckon July 6, 2026 at 10:00 am
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Jul 7. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2026-0957. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Red blood cell (RBC) morphology in peripheral blood smears (PBS) remains essential for the differential diagnosis of anemia and other hematologic disorders. As yet unclassified poikilocytes, fish-shaped RBCs and pincer (mushroom-shaped) cells are rarely observed but have been described as … Read more
