suPAR as a biomarker of support in different clinical settings
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) system, which includes protease, receptor and inhibitors, is essential for key cellular functions like immune activation, cell migration, and tissue remodeling. Soluble uPAR (suPAR), released into circulation, serves as a valuable biomarker for systemic inflammation and immune activation. Elevated suPAR levels are associated with disease severity in conditions such as infections, sepsis, cardiovascular diseases, renal injury, cancer, and autoimmune diseases providing prognostic value especially in acute settings.
Recent advancements in diagnostic methods, have enhanced the accuracy of suPAR measurement in serum and plasma. New rapid tests, such as suPARnostic Quick Triage, as well as turbidimetric assays, further expand its clinical applicability.
In this review, we discuss the suPAR biomarker, focusing on its biochemical structure, biological functions, measurement methods and areas of clinical interest in different fields of medicine.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
