Evaluation of salivary ceruloplasmin for the diagnosis of Wilson’s disease

Scientific Reports
The serum ceruloplasmin assay is the most commonly used test for diagnosing Wilson’s disease (WD). Despite the utility of non-invasive tests for diagnosing WD, no such tests have been developed.

Assessment of Serum Ceruloplasmin Levels in Gingivitis, Chronic and Aggressive Periodontitis Patients- A Clinico-Biochemical Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Introduction: Pro-inflammatory mediators are mainly responsible for periodontal tissue breakdown in periodontitis. Ceruloplasmin is one such biomarker, the levels of which seems to be elevated in presence of inflammation.

The utility of whole exome sequencing in diagnosing Wilson disease: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, resulting in toxic copper accumulation in the body. Diagnosis is typically based on biochemistries, including low serum ceruloplasmin and elevated 24‐h urine copper excretion, with Kayser–Fleischer (KF) rings being a supportive ...

A Case of Ileal Conduit Bleeding Caused by Porto‐Sinusoidal Vascular Disorder

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 60‐year‐old man presented with recurrent stomal bleeding for 3 years. He had undergone cystoprostatectomy with ileal conduit diversion for bladder cancer 7 years prior. Endoscopy revealed multiple protruding lesions (0.6–0.8 cm) inside the stoma, which were initially suspected to be ectopic varices given concomitant esophageal varices and ...

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing
