C-Reactive Protein (C-rP) testing can reveal inflammation and Neprinol has been shown to reduce C-rP levels by an average of 2 points per month. An elevated C-rP is associated with a three-fold increased risk of heart disease based on a clinical trial of 18,000 individuals. Neprinol is a more effective systemic enzyme blend than other options and can reduce arterial plaque, lower LDL cholesterol, and remove scar tissue due to its enteric coating allowing potent absorption.

Creatine metabolism
This document discusses creatine and creatinine, their roles in muscle energy storage and kidney function monitoring. Creatine is synthesized in the liver and kidneys and stored in muscles, where it is converted to phosphocreatine to rapidly regenerate ATP. Creatinine is the breakdown product of creatine phosphate and is excreted by the kidneys at a constant rate depending on muscle mass. Serum creatinine levels are used to monitor kidney function, as impaired kidneys cause creatinine levels to rise. Creatine kinase enzymes play a role in converting creatine to phosphocreatine and their levels indicate damage to heart and skeletal muscles.

renal_function_test_2018.ppt
The kidneys play a vital role in the excretion of waste products and toxins such as urea, creatinine and uric acid, regulation of extracellular fluid volume, serum osmolality and electrolyte concentrations, as well as the production of hormones like erythropoietin and 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D and renin.
Specimen collection requirements are dependent on the procedure or test requested. Generally, for serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, no additional patient preparation is required, and a random blood sample suffices. However, the effect of recent high protein ingestion may increase serum creatinine and urea levels to a significant extent. Also, hydration status can have a considerable impact on BUN measurement.
For timed urine collections such as the 24-hour urine creatinine clearance, it is essential that urine be collected accurately over the required period as under or over collection will affect final results. Hence, a 5 to 8-hour timed collection is preferable to a 24-hour collection.
There are several clinical laboratory tests that are useful in investigating and evaluating kidney function. Clinically, the most practical tests to assess renal function is to get an estimate of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and to check for proteinuria (albuminuria).
Tests of renal function can be used to assess overall renal function by direct measurement or estimation of the glomerular filtration rate. Estimation of the GFR is utilized to determine the presence of renal impairment.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

- 9. C-Reactive Protein Testing • C-Reactive Protein (C-rP) testing can reveal bodily inflammation. • Neprinol has been clinically studied to reduce C-rP an average of 2 points per month. • In a clinical trial involving 18,000 individuals with healthy levels of cholesterol found that an elevated amount of C-rP was associated with a three-fold increase in the risk of heart disease.
- 10. Neprinol’s Features and Benefits • Based on enzyme potency levels, Neprinol is 3x more effective than other leading systemic enzyme blends. • Proven to reduce arterial plaque, lower LDL cholesterol and remove scar tissue from within the body. • All enzymes in Neprinol are derived from all-vegetarian sources which are more effective than those produced by the human body. • Some enzymes lose their potency going through the stomach, however Neprinol enzymes susceptible to low pH ranges are “enteric coated.” This coating allows them to pass through the gastrointestinal tract and absorb into the bloodstream in their natural, potent state.
