NON-INVASIVE APPROACH TO EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF ACUTE SEVERE PANCREATITIS BASED ON HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS MECHANISM OF ACTION

摘要

This invention describes a method for early diagnostics of severe pancreatitis using cell membrane damage detection mechanisms. The method involves a non-invasive testing of human urine or other body fluids samples of patients that are suspected to be affected by acute pancreatitis. The invention is based on heat shock protein HSP-70, 90, 60, and 27 role of action in disease progression.
