Heparin-binding protein: a diagnostic biomarker of urinary tract infection in adults.

Kjölvmark, Charlott LU ; Påhlman, Lisa LU ; Åkesson, Per LU and Linder, Adam LU (2014) In Open Forum Infectious Diseases 1(1). p.004-004
Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are associated with significant morbidity and high frequency of antibiotic prescription. Diagnosing UTI is often difficult, particularly in the critically ill patient and in patients with unspecific and mild symptoms. The standard rapid tests have limited value, and there is a need for more reliable diagnostic tools. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is released from neutrophils and has previously been studied as a diagnostic and predictive biomarker in different bacterial infections.
