Embodiment 1

[0080] Embodiment 1-(control)

[0081] figure 1 Indicates the diagnostic underseparation that occurred by simple measurement of plasma total albumin concentrations in 11 preeclamptic women and 11 matched control women.

Embodiment 2

[0082] Embodiment 2-(control)

[0083] The same method of measuring (total) albumin as in Example 1 was carried out on the same plasma samples, except that VLDL in the plasma was removed before measuring the albumin concentration. VLDL can be precipitated from each plasma sample by mixing 100 μL of plasma with 100 μL of precipitation reagent in a centrifuge tube (acceptable ratios of sample to reagent are 1:1 or 1:5 depending on the concentration of the reagent). Mix by shaking the centrifuge tubes on a vortex mixer and centrifuge at 3,000 rpm for 10 minutes. Decant the supernatant by pipetting into a clean tube. The resulting supernatant was used to determine the concentration of albumin. result in figure 2 Indicated.

[0084] right figure 1 and 2 A comparison of the data presented shows that removal of the VLDL fraction prior to measurement of albumin improves the separation of albumin concentrations between preeclamptic and control blood samples. figure 2 Compare ...

Embodiment 3

[0085] Embodiment 3-(control)

[0086] This example illustrates the separation of NEFA concentrations in Example 1 between 11 preeclampsia patient blood samples and 11 control patient blood samples. Plasma extracted from blood samples was used to test the concentration of NEFA (without removal of VLDL). To measure the concentration of NEFA, 5 μL of plasma was pipetted into the wells of a flat bottom microtiter plate. The working solution of reagent A was added, the solution (70 μL) was mixed well, and the plate was incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes. The working solution of Reagent B (140 μL) was then added, mixed well, and the plate was incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes. Optical density was measured at a wavelength of 550 nm on a microtiter plate reader. The absorbance of the water blank is subtracted and the concentration of NEFA is recorded, which is proportional to the final absorbance compared to a known standard.

Abstract

The invention disclosed is a process for determining the cytoprotective activity of plasma that prevents the destruction of endothelial cells and forestalls the development of a number of diseases such as atherosclerosis, preeclampsia, edema, nephrotic syndrome, and stroke. The present invention includes a method of diagnosing a patient's proclivity to develop a disease having a correlation to a reduction in the concentration of pI 5.6 albumin in the plasma by determining a value indicative of the concentration of the pI 5.6 albumint that is not bound to VLDL (''free pI 5.6 albumin'') in the patient's blood serum. The preferred embodiment of the process utilizes in vitro methods to obtain an indicator of the free pI 5.6 albumin instead of directly measuring the concentration of the free pI 5.6 albumin.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to methods for predicting the following diseases. More particularly, the invention relates to the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia and other disorders. Background of the invention [0002] Vascular disease is often related to the composition of the blood flow through it. In particular, high concentrations of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the blood have detrimental effects on the integrity of blood vessels. VLDL in the blood tends to damage the inner walls of blood vessels, which can cause vascular diseases, including preeclampsia, atherosclerosis, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic vascular disease, etc. [0003] Therefore, it is desirable to have a method of early detection of vascular disease and a method of diagnosing whether a patient has a tendency to suffer from vascular disease later in life, so that the disease can be better controlled or even avoided. Early detection of...
