Albumin is one of the major plasma proteins and is usually present in very low concentrations in urine. Damage to the glomerular basement membrane can alter its permeability meaning albumin and other proteins usually reabsorbed and recirculated in the blood enter the urine. Sustained elevations of urinary albumin concentrations are called microalbuminuria 1.
Microalbuminuria is strongly associated with poor glycaemic control, hypertension and other diabetic complications including ischaemic heart disease, diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy. Microalbumin is an early biomarker of diabetic nephropathy, the most common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 2. Microalbuminuria is an independent predictor of progressive renal disease and cardiovascular mortality. Due to the increasing prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome in children, screening for microalbuminuria seems highly relevant in the paediatric population to detect and prevent cardiovascular disease 3.

What is Transferrin assay used for?
Transferrin (siderophilin) is the principal iron binding and transport protein in human plasma and can bind two molecules of iron. The normal range for healthy adults is 200-400 mg/dl. Iron availability in the plasma regulates transferrin levels which increase when plasma iron is low.
Transferrin levels increase during pregnancy and oestrogen administration and correlate closely with Total Iron Binding Capacity of serum. Plasma transferrin levels are associated with a range of conditions including anaemia, iron deficiency, inflammation or malignancy, liver disease, malnutrition and protein loss.
Transferrin can also be described as a preventative antioxidant and acts by binding iron in a redox inactive form. This process is extremely important as free iron is capable of stimulating the production of harmful free radicals

What is Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) assay used for?
Iron is transported in the blood by the serum protein transferrin. Transferrin is normally 30% saturated, that is 30% of the iron-binding sites contain an iron atom. The total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is the amount of iron needed to 100% saturate transferrin. TIBC reflects iron status: levels are elevated when iron levels are low; therefore it is useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of iron deficiency anaemia and iron deficiency in late pregnancy. Abnormal levels of TIBC can point towards a variety of disease states such as hereditary haemochromatosis, a common genetic disorder where iron levels are excessive, other anaemias, liver disease and malnutrition.

What is Glutathione Reductase assay used for?
Glutathione Reductase is required for the regeneration of reduced glutathione which is important for normal cellular metabolism. This enzyme is often discussed in association with Glutathione Peroxidase, which requires reduced glutathione for activation. Glutathione Reductase is responsible for maintaining levels of reduced glutathione which has many important functions in the cell. Glutathione plays a role in protein folding and the maintenance of reduced pools of vitamin C and E. Reduced levels of this enzyme have been described in several diseases.

Measurement of IgA is used to diagnose diseases of the respiratory tract e.g. tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease and early cirrhosis of the liver. It is also useful in monitoring therapy of IgA myeloma and evaluating IgA immunity. IgA in colostrum and milk is important in neonatal defence against infection.
The Randox IgA assay is an immunoturbidimetric end-point method for manual use and on automated analysers. The increase in turbidity in a sample containing human IgA is measured at 340 nm. By constructing a standard curve from the absorbances of standards, the IgA concentration of a sample can be determined.

What is Haptoglobin assay used for?
Haptoglobin measurements are used in the diagnosis of haemolytic anaemia and to distinguish it from other types of anaemia. In haemolytic anaemia, haptoglobin levels in the blood decrease significantly. Low levels however may also indicate red blood cell destruction due to sickle cell anaemia or thalassemia. In certain cases of liver disease haptoglobin levels may also be low, as the liver cannot manufacture normal levels of the protein.
As an acute phase reactant haptoglobin levels in the blood are significantly increased in response to infection, inflammation, burns, surgery and trauma. However, haptoglobin is not generally used to diagnose or monitor these conditions.

What is the Complement C4 assay used for?
What is Complement C4?
The complement system is one of the major mechanisms of innate immunology consisting of more than 30 plasma and membrane-associated serum proteins which evokes cytolytic immune responses to pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, chemical tissue damage and anything that is classified as foreign to the body. The complement system can be activated through three major pathways: classical, lectin or alternative. Once activated, reactions occur for antibody opsonisation (the process by which a phagocyte marks a pathogen for ingestion and elimination) to fight against the foreign bodies. Activation can also occur when the body produces antibodies for its own tissues that it views as being foreign, which is known as an autoimmune disorder.
During the activation process, Complement C4 splits down into C4b and C4a (peptide). C4b acts as an opsonin and remains bound to the complex at the surface of the pathogen which activates the next step of the process. The small peptide, C4a diffuses away and acts as a chemotactic factor and an inflammatory paracrine.
The Randox Complement C4 assay is used for the quantitative in vitro determination of complement C4 concentration in serum. The Randox Complement C4 assay allows for the diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune disorders associated with abnormal levels of complement C4 including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Higher than normal results may be indicative of cancer or ulcerative whereas lower than normal results may be indicative of lupus, hepatitis, or cirrhosis.
Cell-bound levels of processed complement activation products, especially E-C4d (erythrocyte-bound C4) is a biomarker in the diagnosis and monitoring of systematic lupus erythematous (SLE). For more information on SLE, please click here.
